Lush Prize was at the 21st European Congress on Alternatives to Animal Testing, and sponsored the session ‘3D Models and Multi Organ Chips (MOC), Human-Organ-Chips (HOC)’. Here is our diary of the event.
Every year we build a growing ‘family’ of Lush Prize winners who promote the Prize to colleagues, and this has led to a fantastic number of nominations this year from China, South Korea and Brazil in particular.
Lush Prize recently spoke at an important conference in China on alternatives to animal testing. As always, Lush Hong Kong team organised an excellent exhibition booth, engaging with delegates and provided further information on the Lush Prize.
This year we have introduced a new ‘Young Researcher Judge’ on the Lush Prize judging panel. Bianca Marigliani has been selected as the judge for 2018.
