The ASPIS Cluster is made up of three research projects funded by the EU  Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme: ONTOX, PrecisionTox and RISK-HUNT3R.

It is the largest public funding of research in Europe towards advancing the safety assessment of chemicals without the use of animal testing. ASPIS brings together the three consortia funded under the European Commission’s call for projects advancing the safety assessment of chemicals without the use of animal testing. Collectively, we represent more than 70 institutions across 16 European countries and the U.S. delivering on a €60 million investment in providing timely answers about chemicals’ effects on human health.

PrecisionTox:

Leveraging evolutionary diversity to reveal the molecular basis of toxicity

RISK HUNT3R:

Human-centric chemical safety assessment utilizing systems toxicology

ONTOX:

Synthesizing toxicology knowledge to support next-generation risk assessment
