„Leveraging innovative Research Tools to meet public Health Challenges – EU BioMed21 Workshop Perspectives„

The biomedical research landscape is undergoing a transformative shift toward human-centric, interdisciplinary approaches that enhance translational relevance, amplify research impact, and address urgent public health challenges and unmet medical needs (UMNs). Recent European and global initiatives have prioritized the development and implementation of human-centric non-animal methods (NAMs) to improve research translatability and reduce reliance on animal models in life sciences. Effective cross-sector dialogue is essential to align goals, harmonize strategies, and foster collaboration, ensuring evidence-based policies that drive meaningful public health advancements.

In this #Talking3RScience Webinar, Francesca Pistollato (Senior Strategist, Biomedical Science, Research & Toxicology, Europe at the Humane World for Animals) will introduce the Biomedical Research for the 21st Century (BioMed21) Collaboration and explore how innovative technologies can tackle UMNs, reshape research infrastructures, and advance human-centric tools for transformative policy change. Key discussion points include the societal impact of funded research, UMNs deserving prioritization, and systems-based solutions for interconnected challenges. This webinar builds on insights from the EU BioMed21 Workshop, offering a roadmap to foster impactful, science-driven, and health-focused biomedical research that meets evolving societal and public health needs.
