Advancing Biomedical Research with NAMs (New Approach Methodologies): Innovations and Applications in Switzerland

New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) are transforming the landscape of biomedical research by offering innovative, ethical, and more human-relevant alternatives to traditional animal testing. These methods include advanced in vitro systems, organ-on-chip technologies, computational models, and the use of human-derived data.

In Switzerland, a country known for its excellence in life sciences and precision medicine, the integration of NAMs is gaining momentum across academia, industry, and regulatory bodies. With strong institutional support and a commitment to the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement of animal use), Swiss researchers are pioneering applications that improve translational relevance and efficiency in biomedical studies.
