IIVS Awarded Grant to Develop Non-Animal Testing Strategy for Respiratory Sensitization
February 22, 2016GAITHERSBURG, MD – February 22, 2016 - The Institute for In Vitro Sciences, Inc. (IIVS) has received a grant from the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) to develop non-animal test methods for the evaluation of fragrance materials for potential respiratory irritation and sensitization. The grant was secured in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The proposal, “The use of a novel non-animal platform to characterize respiratory effects of fragrance materials” combines computational approaches...
