Kirkstall hosts biotech forum
A Yorkshire biotech firm is bringing together experts from Europe and the US to discuss the in-vitro testing research.
Kirkstall, which develops testing technologies at its laboratories in Sheffield, is hosting a forum for new developments in human cell-based testing in France on May 26 and 27.
The event will cover topics from regulatory procedures to reducing the need for animal testing. Professor Sheila MacNeil from University of Sheffield will present a paper on three dimensional tissue engineering models for research and development.
Earlier this year Kirkstall secured more than 100,000 of equity funding following its involvement in Grant Thornton's Investing in Health programme.
