    All About NAMs

    Worldwide there is growing focus on using NAMs (Non-Animal Models also known as Novel Approach Methods) in the development of therapeutics. In other words, removing animals from pre-clinical testing. In this episode of From Lab to Life, we take you to a NAM symposium hosted by Bellberry and ASCEPT (Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacologists and Toxicologists) held late in 2024.

    Eye on the Prize

    In 2004 Bellberry was founded as a disrupter and paradigm breaker. An institutionally independent not-for-profit company that offers Human Research Ethics Committee services.  Today Bellberry provides ethics reviews for more than 40% of the CTN clinical trials that take place in Australia and has re-invested $12 million into the research sector.  In 2024 we celebrated 20 years of Bellberry with a focus on the difference we’ve made since we began. This was recognised with Bellberry winning the Telstra Best of Business award for Championing health late last year.  In this episode of 'From Lab to Life' we hear from some of the people we work with about the impact of Bellberry.

    The Balancing Act

    In “The Balancing Act” we meet Professor Andrew Wilson AO, the recently retired Chair of the PBAC. Andrew is a former Chief Medical Officer of Victoria and has spent his career trying to get the best possible outcomes in public health through our state and federal governments. For someone focused on evidence based research, engaging in the political system can be a huge challenge.

    It's All About the Participant

    Without the patient or participant we would not have clinical trials. These are the people who, in some cases, are volunteering to have treatments that have never been tried on humans before. In It’s All About the Participant we hear first-hand about what it’s like to be the participant and ask how could the experience be improved for others? In Episode 9 of From Lab to Life we take a deep dive into the experience of those that have been on life-changing clinical trials.
