OncoTheis is a biotech company dedicated to developing innovative bioengineered tissues and organoids for the many challenges in cancer research. OncoTheis is producing a new generation of integrated 3D in vitro models that combine both healthy and compromised tissues in order to accurately simulate the in vivo situation.
Ligue suisse contre la vivisection
The goal of "La ligue suisse contre la vivisection" is to fight, with all the possible legal means, against the practice of vivisection such as the use of animals for medical, scientific, military, industrial or commercial purposes, until the total abolition of such practices. It recognizes and financially helps the creation and development of alternative methods to animal testing.
FENRIV
In order to limit vivisection, Mr Egon Naef foundation helps researchers and scientists to develop alternative experimental methods to animal testing. Naef Foundation also encourages all researchers to use these alternative methods, especially the in vitro ones, within the framework of their research. Naef Foundation gives each year a prize to a scientist whose contributions were significant to the development of these alternative methods.
Pro anima / Ethic Science
Pro Anima is an apolitical and independent scientific board dedicated to develop human biomedical research by promoting alternatives to animal experimentation. Pro Anima has been active for more than 25 years using all the possible tools to raise awareness about animal testing and existing alternatives: social networks, stands, poster campaign petitions, medias, among other initiatives.
ESTIV
The European Society of Toxicology In Vitro is the leading organization in Europe that strengthens the scientific network of in vitro toxicologists and promotes in vitro toxicology, both scientifically and educationally in all countries of Europe.
Vitrocell Systems
Vitrocell systems offers customers from industry and research institutes new culture and exposure systems for in vitro studies on gases or complex mixtures. The VITROCELL modules adapted to MucilAir™ and SmallAir™ provide new possibilities for characterizing the effects of airborne substances such as gas, nanoparticles and complex mixtures.
