----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The NC3Rs and MHRA are working together to host a workshop aimed at addressing the barriers for uptake of human tissue approaches for safety assessment of new drugs. The workshop is on 15 July 2014 in central London. The intended audience is key influencers from the pharmaceutical industry, contract research organisations, regulatory bodies, researchers developing human tissue models applicable in this area, and companies providing human tissue services to the research community. Registration is now open to relevant scientists from industry, academia and regulatory bodies. Attendance at the meeting is free, but registration is essential. For further information and to register visit www.nc3rs.org.uk/humantissue2014<http://www.nc3rs.org.uk/humantissue2014>. The closing date for registrations is 1 July 2014. The key objectives of the meeting are to: * Share experiences and best practice in the use of human tissue for safety assessment, focussing particularly on safety pharmacology. * Identify and address the barriers to uptake of human tissue-based approaches. * Work as a community in developing a strategy for overcoming some of the barriers to wider uptake of human tissue-based approaches to benefit safety assessment and the 3Rs. Active participation in the workshop is essential. Participants are encouraged to submit posters relating to human tissue-based approaches to safety assessment and the 3Rs. ---------------------------------------- Dr Anthony Holmes Programme Manager - Technology Development, NC3Rs Tel: 020 7611 2235 | Mob: 07920 765 855 | anthony.holmes@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:anthony.holmes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
