Zsolt Sebestyén is an associate professor of Translational Immunology at the UMC Utrecht. He currently works on the development of living medicines to fight against cancers with cell-based immunotherapies. In this interview, he explains to us the importance of animal models and the place of the transition towards animal-free innovations in his research field.

Myrna Brandt is a PhD candidate in the Department for Developmental Origins of Disease, part of the UMC Utrecht Brain Center. She is working to develop a brain organoid that can reduce the use of animals in research on brain damage in premature babies. One in ten babies is born prematurely.

Who will you nominate for this year's Culture of Care Award? This is an incentive prize for animal technicians and animal caretakers, established by the Animal Welfare Body (AWB) Utrecht.
