The Office for Health and Medical Research is pleased to be providing $4.5 million in funding and support for the new Non-animal Technologies Network (NAT-Net) to reduce and replace the use of animals in medical research in NSW. The Network brings together eight leading research organisations as founding members, and these include Children's Medical Research Institute, Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), UNSW, University of Newcastle, University of Sydney, University of Technology Sydney, University of Wollongong and Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute. Launched this week by the Hon David Harris MP, Minister for Medical Research, NAT-Net aims to build a cohesive non-animal technologies sector and support the development of alternative technologies that are more biologically similar to humans. We have already seen some incredible developments in this sector through precision medicine, 3D printing technologies and organoids - 3D mini organs grown from human stem cells. We look forward to future developments in this space and the impact it can have on patient outcomes.
