The project

The aim of the project is to find advanced methodologies alternative to animal testing.

We are already working on the optimization of bioreactors for mimicking physiological systems instead of in vitro studies and animal models. These systems consist of inter-connected multi-organ culture chambers and they can be used for different cell lines or tissues, leading to the simulation of physiological barriers, and thus mimicking in vivo conditions.

By using this dynamic system, the bioactivity or toxicity of molecules (drugs, natural products, and nutraceuticals) can be tested. In addition, the adsorption and metabolism of single molecules and complex matrices (food, food supplements) could be evaluated. By mimicking in vivo processes, other pathologic conditions can be studied, like cancer cell adhesion to healthy tissues and metastasis formation in 3D culture models.

Our effors are aimed at investigating the described pathologic and physiologic mechanisms and, at the same time, at the implementation of a reliable in vitro model that will help us to spare unnecessary animal suffering and lives.

Goals

1° goal: 5.000

Development of dynamic system useful for the study of new molecules potentially bioactive (for example anti-cancer and protective agents against tissue degeneration or bioactive food components) and toxic (drugs or toxic compound present in food). This system could be a good alternative to animal models

2° goal: 15.000

Grant for a young researcher

3° goal: 25.000

Up-grade of the dynamic model system
