TEDD Annual Meeting 2025: Advancing Biomedical Research with NAMs (New Approach Methodologies): Innovations and Applications in Switzerland
This conference will highlight the latest advancements, and collaborative opportunities shaping the future of biomedical research in Switzerland.
PROGRAM
New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are transforming the landscape of biomedical research by offering innovative, ethical, and more human-relevant alternatives to traditional animal testing. These methods include advanced in vitro systems, organ-on-chip technologies, computational models, and the use of human-derived data. In Switzerland, a country known for its excellence in life sciences and precision medicine, the integration of NAMs is gaining momentum across academia, industry, and regulatory bodies. With strong institutional support and a commitment to the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement of animal use), Swiss researchers are pioneering applications that improve translational relevance and efficiency in biomedical studies. As the global demand for more predictive and ethically responsible research methods grows, NAMs offer a critical pathway for scientific innovation and patient-centred progress. This conference will highlight the latest advancements, and collaborative opportunities shaping the future of biomedical research in Switzerland.
