Abuse Potential Evaluation with Pharmaco-MRI
A means of assessing abuse liability of experimental drugs in man using MRI methods and evaluating and mitigating abuse risk of novel Mechanisms-of-Action.
Assessment of abuse potential of experimental drugs that engage with novel Mechanisms of Action is required as part of their development. The FDA strongly encourages industry to pay more attention to the risk for drug abuse in experimental drugs to avoid future non-medical use.
Today, a variety of preclinical animal models for drug dependence and abuse exist albeit with varying translational properties. Because of this, innovative drug development faces a significant risk of choosing a suboptimal animal model, dosing and administration regime.

HepaRG-CAR: a new human liver cell line
HepaRG cells outperform all other proliferative sources of human hepatocytes in liver functions. Now we modified the HepaRG cell line by stable lentiviral overexpression of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), a regulator of e.g. detoxification and energy metabolism, which has the following advantages: High liver functionality & increased mitochondrial energy metabolism in monolayer, particularly in […]
Fall army worm pest control
The team of prof. Astrid Groot from the UvA Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) are looking for a financial sponsor which can help close the funding gap or a organization who is interested in a partnership. Aim is for finding a sustainable control strategy to address to the fall army worm pest in […]
