Описание: Are experimental animals needed to keep us safe and healthy? Judith Lechner will answer this question in her talk “Sexy Cells - alternatives to animal experimentation” and explain how she and her group are planning to reduce and eventually replace animal testing. Judith Lechner is a researcher and teacher of Physiology at the Medical University of Innsbruck (MUI). In accordance with her respect for all living creatures, she chose to study Biology in Vienna and Innsbruck, followed by scientific work on cell cultures. As a member of the speakers’ team of the MUI animalFree Research Cluster, she is engaged in promoting alternative methods to animal testing. Being a mother and experiencing gender differences with her son and daughter first-hand, she has also developed a strong interest for Gender Medicine. This led to investigations on sex specific differences in the function of kidneys. Currently, Judith and her group are developing sex specific models from human renal cells in close collaboration with the group of Paul Jennings in Amsterdam, NL, which builds on his previous work with Gerhard Gstraunthaler and Anja Wilmes to establish renal cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells for in vitro toxicology studies within the EU-funded STEMBancc project. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
