Since its establishment in 1981 with a $1 million grant from the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association, the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) has been pioneering humane science and alternatives to animal testing. Today, CAAT is a world leader in the development and use of new approach methods in biomedical research, product safety testing, and education. CAAT seeks to effect change by working with scientists in industry, government, and academia to find new ways to replace animals with non-animal methods, reduce the numbers of animals necessary, or refine methods to make them less painful or stressful to the animals involved. In 2010, CAAT became the first transatlantic competence center in the field of alternatives with the establishment of CAAT-Europe at the University of Konstanz, Germany. Since then, CAAT and CAAT-Europe have brought together stakeholders from the US and Europe to forge consensus, harmonize policy, and drive scientific innovation.

📣 Call for Proposals now open for the CAAT Humane Education and Reduction Grants 📣 CAAT’s Beyond Classical Refinement Program, led by Kathrin Herrmann, PhD, has been awarding two annual grants for Reduction of animal experiments and for humane education. The Reduction Grant is given to a research project that helps reduce animal use by identifying areas of research and testing where animal models lack reproducibility and translational value. The Humane Education Grant is awarded for the development of animal-free training resources for veterinary, medical or laboratory courses. Each grant includes prize money of $6,000 USD. Deadline for applications: September 30, 2024 🔗 below for details!

This is an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with some cutting edge alternative technologies. Registration is free. Don't miss out—sign up today!
Our next 3Rs Training Webinar will take place on Monday, June 24th at 1 pm EST / 7 pm CEST. The presentation of Ahmed Samir Mohamed Ali from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, will cover why it is important to replace animal components in in-vitro studies, addressing scientific and ethical concerns. Additionally, Ahmed Ali will report on the efforts as a bioprinting group to overcome the current limitations in having a xeno-free liver model with good physiological relevance to the human body.

Last week, CAAT hosted and organized its final #MPSWorldSummit. Next year, the Summit will officially be managed by iMPSS, a society formed by CAAT to eventually lead the development and organization of this annual event. This year's conference marked a rewarding and energizing conclusion to a concept that has been three years in the making. The event saw high attendance, with academia, industry, and government sectors all well-represented. The energy and enthusiasm among attendees was noticeable, and there was genuine appreciation for the beautiful city of Seattle and the exceptional efforts of our hosts at the Seattle Convention Center. As CAAT transitions the MPS World Summit to the capable hands of iMPSS, a young but thriving society, we want to acknowledge and appreciate the many contributions made since 2022 by organizers, partners, vendors, and volunteers alike. This project would not have been possible without your dedication and hard work. 🍻 to many more productive, collaborative, and innovative World Summits ahead! See you in Brussels (but this time, just as a guest)! 👋 🇧🇪 🧇 Thomas Hartung, Lena Smirnova, Camila Sgrignoli Januario, Anwyn Statnick, Magdalena Kasendra, Jan Lichtenberg, Ellen Fritsche
