NHPig Lecture Series: The European Initiative on Minipig & Micropig Models

Reducing Non-Human Primates in Non-Clinical Safety Assessment: The European Initiative on Minipig and Micropig Models

NHPig is an EU-funded research project aimed at transforming non-clinical safety assessment by use of mini- and micropig models. The goal is to expand and share biological knowledge on mini- and micropig models and improve the translational understanding between pig models and non-human primates (NHPs) and humans with the possibility to use these pig models as viable alternatives to NHPs in the nonclinical safety testing.

We would like to warmly invite you to a lecture series to introduce you to the project and provide you with a closer look at the goals and activities.
