A collaboration between Ignota Labs and the NHS Health Innovation Network South London has received a Cross-Sector Experience Award from the Academy of Medical Sciences.
The awards aim to drive innovation in the health sector by enabling individuals to apply their expertise in new research or professional settings. We are looking forward to welcoming Antonio Ruiz-Gonzalez to the team as part of this programme.
We aim to open funding opportunities to:
1. Work with pre-competitive partners to advance AI-enabled reduction of animal testing.
2. Demonstrate a pilot for liver-specific cell painting.
This year, the Academy of Medical Sciences has awarded over £930,000 to 13 professionals who will spend up to a year working outside their usual sectors, forging partnerships between industry, academia, government and charities to break down silos and accelerate solutions to major health challenges.
