Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Let's get recognised by our achievements, rather than by gender. un.org/en/observances… #FEBRUARY11 #WomenInScience

Here are just a few of the brilliant women who are leading pioneering animal free research. All are working towards our collective goal – a world where human diseases are cured faster without animal suffering. #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience #kinderscience

Thank you so much Lilian Greenwood for visiting the @UoN_BD where AnimalFreeResearchUK is helping to fund ground-breaking animal free research into heart failure. Huge thanks also to Chris Denning and your team for hosting and sharing your inspiring work! #kinderscence

Healing broken hearts top priority this Valentine’s Day for University of Nottingham researchers Chris Denning youtube.com/watch?v=30igAk…

Animal free research is a win-win-win. A win for science, a win for patients and win for animals. Watch the future happening right now at Nottingham Research. Thanks brilliant team Chris Denning - their exciting work makes the heart thump! #kinderscience youtube.com/watch?v=T9ZbqA…

I was impressed to see how AnimalFreeResearchUK are supporting women in science at my recent visit to Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN Biodiscovery Institute. On #InternationalWomensDay they are playing their part in helping to address the gender imbalance. Collectively we can all help to #BreakTheBias

A new survey by Lancaster University is investigating how COVID may have affected work & experiences of menopause in working women. Info & link to survey: rb.gy/a391js Survey closes 5th April 22. Please share #Menopause #menopauseatwork Wellbeing of Women Lancaster University

I'm happy to share that we have just published a paper in Toxicological Sciences. CardioMotion is a novel, label-free, high throughput assay enabling the identification of small molecule compounds with potential cardiac liabilities #DrugDiscovery Toxicological Sciences academic.oup.com/toxsci/article…

Out today: our review on the use of human stem-cell derived myocytes in cardiac therapy by Kavita Raniga, Chris Denning and co doi.org/10.1016/j.stem…

🚀Thrilled to share our article on the application of hPSC-CMs, diving into drug discovery pipelines and clinical translation. A big thank you to all the authors🤝 Check out our paper here: cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) technology provides opportunities for replacing animals in drug discovery pipelines and cell-based therapeutics. In a perspective paper, Prof Chris Denning et al explore the next stages for hPSC-derived cardiomyocytes: cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

In our paper, I'm proudest of this critical sentence, "safety data from an hiPSC-CM model, in tandem with in silico predictions, was a factor in GSK’s decision to move away from using the rabbit ventricular wedge.. to.. advance the 3Rs of animal use" - good for science & animals
