The 2014 Nordic Prize for Alternatives to Animal Experiments has been awarded to Christel Bergström, Maria Karlgren and Pär Matsson at Uppsala University for their work with developing animal-free methods in pharmaceutical development.
Using cell models and computer models, this group of Uppsala scientists has studied intestinal drug transport, how drugs pass on to the brain, which side effects can be seen, and whether there is a risk of interaction with other drugs.
The award ceremony will take place during the seminar held by The Swedish Fund for Research Without Animal Experiments at the Digital Health Days, Stockholmsmässan, 25 August.
