The jury of the Händel Prize was not only impressed by the research of the two researchers into alternative methods, but also by their services in the area of method implementation and the associated gaining of acceptance in toxicology. Through the international networking of the different stakeholders (researchers, regulatory authorities, non-governmental organizations and industry) in particular, they have managed to make a major contribution to the recognition of alternative methods, as is said in today's press release.
