WELCOME TO THE TWINALT PROJECT
Twinning towards excellence in alternative methods for toxicity assessment.
TWINALT is a joint international project, funded by the European Commission under Horizon2020, aimed to develop a better understanding of alternative methods for toxicity testing, exchange know-how with the partners and disseminate the knowledge for the scientific and social benefits.
- Highest Quality Results
- Led by Passionate Experts
THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
scientific development
Strengthening NIOM’s research position in the field of alternative methods for toxicity assessment and enhancinge the science and technology capacity of the 4 linked institutions.
dialogue with industry
Establishing new contacts with the industry representatives and increasing number of research inquiries for testing using alternatives.
raising awareness
Reaching to NGOs and Polish society in order to raise awareness i.a. about using alternative methods, regulatory status and new methods being developed.
APPROACHABLE KNOWLEDGE
Communication and approachable knowledge sharing methods: workshops, lectures and social media.
MISSION OF TWINALT
Mastering new alternative toxicity testing methods
Implementing the 3R rule in scientific and commercial research by developing alternative methods.Better understanding
Developing a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of alternative methods, creating the area for constant improvement.Exchange of experience
Exchanging know-how with the partners and strengthen research position in the field of alternative methods for toxicity assessment.Knowledge
Disseminating knowledge on alternative assessment methods for the scientific and social benefits.BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Ensuring safety of newly invented products, i.e. chemicals, pharmaceuticals, biocides, cosmetics, nanomaterials, should comprise a crucial part of their development.
Toxicity testing relies from many years on animal models, which – however providing indisputable benefits – raises more and more ethical and scientific concerns.
This challenge has driven an intensive search for alternative methods of toxicity testing, designed in line with 3R rule, advocating for replacement of animals, reduction of their number and constant refinement of available methods.
