Join the CONFIRM Initiative<br />
The CONFIRM Initiative is aimed at generating evidence that minipigs are a relevant non-rodent<br />
species for the immunological safety evaluation of human pharmaceuticals by setting up, promoting<br />
and coordinating a COllaborative Network For Immunological safety Research in <strong>Minipigs</strong>, abbreviated<br />
into ‘CONFIRM’.<br />
The CONFIRM Initiative is intended to:<br />
• serve as a trigger for immunological safety research in Göttingen <strong>Minipigs</strong><br />
• assist and synergize fundamental, translational and regulatory investigative efforts relevant to immunological safety<br />
evaluation in Göttingen <strong>Minipigs</strong><br />
• spread current knowledge and new findings to the scientific and regulatory toxicology community<br />
The first major meeting of the CONFIRM Initiative was held at the Minipig Research Forum in Barcelona in May and included<br />
three presentations which can be read at https://minipigresearchforum.org/members-area/the-mrf-meeting-2018/. We call<br />
on you to actively participate in the Initiative. Learn more at https://minipigs.dk/knowledge-base/the-confirm-initiative/ and<br />
