Duygu Yazici (Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research, UZH) has received the Young 3Rs Investigator Award for creating advanced lab models that mimic human organs using stem cell technology and organ-on-a-chip devices. These innovative models provide an ethical alternative to animal testing for studying the hazards of environmental toxicants. The methods have contributed to advancing the field of New Approach Methodologies reducing future reliance on animal testing in toxicology.
We visited Duygu in Davos and made this short video series:
