We are a group of academic researchers who are changing paradigms in the field of field of ecological and chemical risk assessment by providing a range of tools that aim to reduce the reliance on animal test methods, increasing resource efficiency (time, money), and increasing knowledge of mechanisms of action. Taken together, the EcoToxChip Test Method™ may support and improve decision-making.
Below is our vision of how the EcoToxChip Test Method challenges the status quo to improve decision-making and benefit society:
