September 25, 2025 | Barbara Jozef

This year’s World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Utox was strongly represented.

The team chaired sessions in both the Environmental Health and Animal Health tracks and delivered multiple presentations, ranging from data-driven design of new in vitro assays to advances in animal-free fish cell culture.

These contributions highlighted Utox’s active role in shaping international discussions on innovative, mechanistic approaches that reduce reliance on animal testing while strengthening both human and environmental safety assessment.
