VICT3R Developing and implementing VIrtual Control groups To reducE animal use in toxicology Research

Coordinator: UNIVERSIDAD POMPEU FABRA (ES)

VICT3R, a public-private partnership running under the European Innovative Health Initiative, aims to significantly reduce the number of animals used in experimental studies performed during the nonclinical drug and chemical safety evaluation by replacing the animals of the concurrent controls groups (CCGs) with Virtual Control Groups (VCGs). These VCGs will be generated by means of state-of-the-art statistical or artificial intelligence (AI) approaches that optimally exploit the wealth of historical data from control animals accumulated over decades by pharmaceutical companies and other rele…
