In this episode we explore how four pilot studies are bringing New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) into real-world application. From digital twins and organ-on-chip models to organoids and bench-top simulations, these pilots demonstrate how science can replace animal testing with human-relevant innovation. Each pilot lead explains what they’re working on, what’s being validated, and how companies and researchers can get involved. You will gain insights into the open call participation.
