NAMs - Bionomous

Towards a future beyond animal testing?

As spring fades into summer and nature bursts into full bloom, it is a fitting time to reflect on scientific approaches that promote innovation while advancing more ethical and sustainable research practices. This past spring was filled with events and initiatives that energized the research community and accelerated the development of forward-thinking solutions. Among them, New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are emerging as powerful alternatives to traditional animal testing.What are NAMs exactly? How can they effectively be used in research? And what is the vision of regulatory bodies on that matter?…

NAMs & Automation Symposium at SETAC 2025

Register to our lunch workshop about New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and Automation! When May 14 12:55 to 14:25 Where Hall L3, Level 1, ACV 🗓️ ➕ Add event to your calendar (Export iCal)New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are advancing toxicology by integrating automation and cutting-edge technologies to reduce reliance on traditional animal models. Advances in robotics, microfluidics, high-throughput screening, and AI-driven data analysis are accelerating toxicity testing using small model organisms such as the embryos of zebrafish, Xenopus, and medaka, as well as the nematode, C. elegans.We will explore how automation…
