Research Themes
Working closely with industry and other stakeholders, we aim to translate novel in vitro models and associated organ-on-a-chip technologies through to end users. This requires model qualification (characterisation) and validation to be considered from the start of the development process.
In this way the CPM is working to deliver these non-animal 'alternative methods' in such a way that it will transform the quality of discovery science and accelerate the delivery of new therapeutics, whilst reducing the use of animals in science and pre-clinical testing.
CPM research groups span the faculties of Science and Engineering and Medicine and Dentistry and have tissue and disease-specific expertise across a range of organ systems. Together, research within the CPM addresses the following four major themes:
Development, qualification and validation of in vitro models
Use of in vitro models for discovery research
