The SaferSkin™ Sensitization application implements three well-adopted defined approaches to perform an integrated analysis of the OECD-approved in vitro tests (DPRA, KeratinoSens™, h-CLAT) for assessment of skin sensitisation potential.

The recent OECD acceptance of TG 497 for defined approaches for skin sensitization marks an important milestone.

HepaRG™ has been manufactured and distributed for many years by Biopredic International, now part of Wepredic. We realized in recent years the increasing need for the development of HepaRG™ infrastructure and services to keep up with the increasing requirements of the HepaRG™ research community and requests from our customers.

A better molecular characterization of a cell line is a prerequisite for well-planned, educated, and targeted experimentation.

An important commitment we are making is to ensure data integrity across the journey from research to practice, from case study work to service execution, from study planning through data generation to downstream consumption.

This innovative method (Su et al. 2016) was awarded with the Lush Science Price 2016 and combines cell-based assays with bioinformatics. The method predicts specifically toxicity to renal proximal tubular cells, which are one of the main targets for chemical-induced toxicity in the kidney.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) accounts for more than 50% of acute liver failure and constitutes therefore a major concern for the pharmaceutical industry in drug pre-and post-marketing scenarios.

For many years HepaRG™ has provided a valuable liver cell line for research applications.

Data is the gold of scientific prospecting, whether supporting research publications in academia or product development in industry.

The EU-ToxRisk Commercialisation Platform was launched at the EU-ToxRisk Stakeholder meeting in Egmond, the Netherlands on 12 February.

Skin safety is one of the most important goals of the consumer products industry.

Taxila™ is a platform that aggregates the tons of data produced every day in natural text and converts it to actionable insights.

Swiss firm TEMAS believes that progress only happens when people work together in networks, crossing the boundaries of specialist fields.
