    “Blood-brain barrier on-a-chip”

    Scientists at the Wyss Institute have created a 3-dimensional in vitro model of the human blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-"on-a-chip."  The device will make it possible for researchers... Read More

The Human Toxicology Project Consortium is a group of stakeholders from corporate and public interest communities that share the goal of advancing a biological pathway-based approach to toxicology, as described in the National Research Council's 2007 report, "Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century." The Consortium works to increase financial support and incentives to advance the science and technology behind pathway-based toxicology, and works to facilitate public and regulatory acceptance of predominantly in vitro and in silico toxicity testing.
