Why macrophages matter in the fight against cystic fibrosis
Lung macrophages play a significant role in the chronic inflammation associated with cystic fibrosis
In the second session of our ImmuBYTES webinar series, Dr Vinit Pereira explored one of the most persistent challenges: lung toxicity that arrives too late to prevent. This session highlighted where prediction fails today, the mechanistic gaps that limit current approaches, and how human NAMs can help close that gap. It also emphasised the key insights teams need to move from reactive findings to more proactive, informed decision-making.
Catch up on ImmuBYTES 2: “Making Lung Toxicity Predictive, Not Reactive”, presented by Dr Vinit Pereira, and discover how emerging approaches can help improve early lung safety assessment.

Inhaled substances are primarily tested on rats for toxicity, but key differences between rat and human lungs suggest it’s time to look towards alternative methods.

We’ve just returned from the Society of Toxicology conference in Nashville, where we were excited to exhibit our upcoming in vitro cell culture models.
