FDA Modernization Act 3.0 passed the U.S. Senate, bringing it closer to law and reinforcing a shift to modern, science-driven nonclinical testing. By removing outdated animal-testing language, it supports robust, human-relevant NAMs. We are excited to use this momentum at InSphero in the new year! 🚀

New year, new sphere 🌱
This year, our focus stays the same: advancing human-relevant science for better drug development decisions. Each year is a chance to sharpen our thinking, strengthen collaboration and keep improving together. Wishing you a healthy, successful and inspiring start to the year✨

👟✨ Screens off, endorphins on.
We came together for the first-ever InSphero Silvesterlauf. Walking, a relaxed 2-3 km run, or running a 5 km push, moments like these remind us how important and energizing it can be to make an effort and head back to work with a clearer mind and a spring in our step.

Last week’s special at InSphero 🧀✨

Glühwein, great vibes, and even better company, followed by 20 raclettes, 2 bubbling fondue pots, and more cheese combinations than we could count. Finished with laughter and sweet conversations. We are so thankful to be a part of a creative and caring team!
