The University of Birmingham is leading an international collaboration that has used metabolomics as a robust method to assess safety of chemicals, which is also raising hopes for a reduction in animal testing procedures. Click to read more...

Scientists have created a new way to provide valuable insights into how drugs are processed in the body and how the body responds to these drugs, in a single test.Researchers built upon ‘untargeted metabolomics’ which traditionally tracks molecules k

New Birmingham spinout company Michabo Health Science Ltd, which aims to provide fast, reliable predictions of whether chemicals are potentially hazardous to human health or the environment, will use methods developed by researchers from the University’s School of Biosciences to assess chemical safety without the need for vertebrate animal testing.
