An important but underacknowledged barrier to reducing and replacing the use of animals in research and testing is that few researchers are trained in how to use non-animal methodologies. To help address this gap, the Queen Mary University of London recently launched the new Centre for Doctoral Training in Next Generation Organ-on-a-Chip Technology. Organs-on-a-chip are lab-grown, three-dimensional miniature organs that can be used instead of animals to study medicines and diseases. (See AWI Quarterly, spring 2020.) Over the next eight years, through a grant from the UK government’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the center will train 60 PhD students to join a new generation of scientific experts in the use of organ-on-a-chip technology. To complement the training center, the university also launched one of Europe’s “largest and most advanced” organ-on-a-chip facilities to accelerate the development and adoption of this cutting-edge technology.
