Join Prof. Victoria Hutter and Dr. Louis Scott as they showcase the application of high-content imaging and advanced cell lines for drug safety assessment.

Safety concerns play a significant role in the unsuccessful progression of candidate compounds in the later stages of drug development. Establishing the connection between in vitro endpoints and human health outcomes is essential.

In this webinar, Prof. Victoria Hutter and Dr. Louis Scott present a novel tool for in vitro safety assessment in drug development. The morph_ONE™ assay provides a human-centric approach to potentially fill specific regulatory gaps concerning safety issues. This tool is capable of profiling both human and rat alveolar macrophages, offering valuable insights for hazard identification and toxicity assessments. By bridging the divide between cellular effects and overall risk, it has the potential to enhance our understanding of safety-related aspects in drug development.

Key Topics Include:

  • Explore distinct in vitro screening techniques for evaluating the safety of emerging inhaled products, facilitating early and informed decisions in compound selection and development.
  • How high-content image analysis (HCIA) cell painting assays can be used as a forward-looking high-throughput screening tool, distinguishing unique response patterns in alveolar macrophages.
  • Understand the use of the ImmuPHAGE™ and ImmuLUNG™ models  in conducting customized evaluations focused on inhalation safety.
