MatTek is proud to join a global gathering dedicated to the 3Rs and human-relevant research methods at the 13th World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences (WC13) in Rio de Janeiro from August 31 to September 5, 2025. Bringing together innovators, regulators, and scientists from around the world, WC13 continues its legacy in driving non‑animal testing forward.
MatTek will be exhibiting at the congress and showcasing our organotypic human microtissue platforms such as EpiDerm, EpiOcular, EpiAirway, and EpiIntestinal. These 3D models support toxicology testing aligned with regulatory standards and evolving NAMs frameworks.
Connect with us! Add booth #E19 to your exhibitor list and meet with our team of experts to learn why the future of testing is humane.

3D Models Applications in Toxicology: Courses and Handling Session
Friday, September 5, 2025
08:00-16:20 – INMETRO
Av. Nossa Senhora das Graças, no. 50, Prédio 06 (auditório) – Xerém, Duque de Caxias, RJ
This WC13 satellite workshop, organized by MatTek, INMETRO, and BCRJ, will explore practical and regulatory aspects of 3D models in toxicology. The morning session (150 participants) features presentations on human organotypic 3D tissues, their integration into New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), and regulatory perspectives, with a focus on Brazil’s initiatives. The afternoon is a hands-on training (10–15 participants) on 3D tissue models, reserved for select regulatory and research representatives. The event is free with pre-registration and aims to foster expertise and collaboration in alternative toxicological methods.
This workshop presents a rare chance for in‑depth learning and collaboration between regulatory leaders and scientific practitioners, with a focus on Brazil’s growing role in NAMs adoption and guidelines development.
