Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Donna L. Mendrick's research focuses on the development and implementation of new approach methodologies (NAMs) in toxicity testing, aiming to reduce reliance on animal models. Her work investigates the potential value of microphysiological systems (MPS), also known as organ-on-a-chip technology, for studying drug-induced liver injury and for broader applications in protecting human and animal health.

Mendrick has published on the challenges and considerations for adopting NAMs in pharmaceutical development from an FDA/CDER perspective. She also examines the progress of U.S. federal agencies in implementing alternative testing methods. Her research group explores biology-inspired dynamic microphysiological systems to revolutionize basic research, healthcare, and animal welfare, with recent work also considering animal MPS and the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) in drug development.
