Research & development of new alternative methods

Develop biomarkers and biological screening test systems using:
  • the knowledge of the modes of action and pathways of toxic chemicals at different levels of biological organisation
  • high-tech (bio)technological methods (microarray, PCR, proteomics, other in vitro techniques, statistical data analysis)

Our expertise and field of research in the area of:

  • Eye Irritation: BCOP assay

  • Non-invasive tests using exhaled breath and gasses: EBC assay

  • Respiratory toxicity: BEAS-2B assay and nanoparticle research 
  • Skin sensitization: VITOSENS® 
  • Zebrafish embryo: teratogenic assay and neurotoxic assay
