SEURAT-1: Development of a Research Strategy for the Replacement of in vivo Repeated Dose Systemic Toxicity Testing
SEURAT-1 is a major European private-public research consortium that is working towards animal-free testing and the highest level of consumer protection, co-funded by Cosmetics Europe (EUR 25 million) and the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme (EUR 25 million). A research strategy was formulated around harnessing knowledge about toxicological modes-of-action and an organisational model was developed that marries crowd-sourcing with individual excellence. The proof of the initiative will be in demonstrating the applicability of the concepts on which SEURAT-1 is built. Results in this field will be relevant for a wide range of industrial and medical sectors and will have a positive impact on the competitiveness and innovation of EU companies.
