MatTek had the pleasure of speaking and exhibiting at the Massachusetts State House in support of H.850 sponsored by Representative Jack Patrick Lewis and Senator Mark Montigny. The bill would require manufacturers to use effective, non-animal testing methods when available for cosmetics, household cleaners, and industrial chemicals. MatTek produces many types of lab-grown human tissues that accompany test protocols validated by global regulatory agencies, such as the OECD - OCDE, that are utilized by companies worldwide to ensure the safety and efficacy of their consumer products. The importance of legislative leadership to encourage the acceptance of NAMs cannot be overstated, and we are proud to support this effort in our home state with science-based solutions produced in Massachusetts labs. Many thanks to The Humane Society of the United States for organizing this event! #nonanimaltesting #betterscience #biotechsolutions

Earlier this month, MatTek's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Seyoum Ayehunie, presented a poster on groundbreaking work performed by our R&D team under his leadership. The development of a vascularized, metastatic colorectal cancer model for drug testing can have far reaching impacts from medical research to patient outcomes. This project is born of our partnership with NEXT Oncology and supports the goal of utilizing their inventory of patient-derived cancer cells to replicate cancerous tumors in vitro, so that more effective therapies can be developed by medical and pharmaceutical researchers.

ICYMI: MatTek, in collaboration with Charles River Laboratories has been awarded a grant from the Foundation for Chemistry Research & Initiatives to advance non-animal research. The program will develop a new approach method (NAM) for inhalation toxicology. As leaders in the field of human tissue engineering, and the creators of EpiAirway, MatTek is uniquely qualified to lend its expertise to the project. “This partnership marks a pivotal moment where innovation and collaboration will lead us toward safer and more reliable outcomes for all," said MatTek CEO Alex Armento.

We are always thrilled to support opportunities to learn about in vitro testing methods, and provide tissues for hands-on experience. Many thanks to our colleagues at the Institute for In Vitro Sciences, Inc. for hosting these workshops and coaching new scientists on better methods of testing. #betterscience
This week we are kicking off another Practical Methods hand-on in vitro workshop. Regulators, industry scientists, and academics get a chance to learn the science behind many assays, GIVIMP principles, and data analysis and interpretation. And they get some time in the lab to see how the assays are conducted. This event takes a village to put on, from IIVS staff biologists and toxicologists, to consistent support from PETA Science Consortium International e.V., MatTek Life Sciences, and In Vitro International. To inquire about this course visit the IIVS web site at https://lnkd.in/gT3neDun.
