Development of a superior in vitro model for drug hepatoxicity screening through 3D printing of crosslinkable biopolymers. Ghent University
Developing drugs is a time- and cost-intensive process. During drug development, different phases are required for a drug to finally reach the market. During the discovery and development phase, thousands of compounds are synthesized, of which the most appropriate reach the preclinical phase. During this phase, in vitro and in vivo tests are performed in an attempt to track toxicity. Due to ethical as well as economic constraints, there is a ...
