From the 25 to the 28 of October 2017 Bio Basic Europe attends the SIF conference (38th National Congress of the Italian Pharmacology Society - Session of Pharmacovigilance), held in Rimini (Italy). Dr. Alice Buzzella (Department of Biology and Biotechnology of Pavia University and researcher at Bio Basic Europe) will present the poster “An alternative method for evaluating skin sensitizing potential of chemicals using forward scatter” (Authors: Buzzella A., Mazzini G., Vicini R., Angelinetta C., Balestra B., Pastoris O.). The purpose of the work is to develop an in vitro alternative test able to identify the sensitizing potential of chemical compounds. The research allows detecting a sensitive cytometric parameter in the forward scatter signal in order to allow the discrimination between sensitizing and non-sensitizing substances. Bio Basic Europe, in collaboration with the University of Pavia, confirms its commitment towards the research oriented to the development of in vitro protocols, alternative to animal testing.
