New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)
Redefining testing through innovation
Vivaltes is revolutionising the future of product development with New Approach Methodologies. By replacing traditional animal testing with a combination of animal-friendly, alternative test methods and AI-solutions, we enable efficient, ethical, and scientifically robust research and innovation.
What are NAMs?
New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are innovative, non-animal testing strategies that use computational models, in vitro assays, and alternative organisms like C. elegans to assess the biological effects of compounds.
At Vivaltes we adhere to the principles of the 3Rs (Reduce, Replace, Refine), utilising an array of NAMs - including C. elegans, cell-based assays, and computational modeling - to validate the biological activity and safety of your compounds in an animal-friendly manner.
