      PMIScience hosts TEDD Member Visit. The TEDD Competence Centre (Zurich University of Applied Sciences) is a collaborative innovaton platform, dedicated to 3D cell culture technology and organ-like tissue models for drug development, substance testing, personalised and regenerative medicine. The network pools and transfers knowledge and technologies in order to promote the further development and routine application of 3D cell culture. By combining diverse skills through integrative cooperation amoung academics, clinicians and industrial partners, TEDD covers the entire development and value chain as well as forms a powerful and successful network. A video showing the work of TEDD can be viewed on the University of Zurich Website. View the Agenda to see what PMIScience will be presenting.

      PMIScience.com is operated by Philip Morris International for the purpose of publishing and disseminating scientific information about Philip Morris International’s efforts to develop and assess products that have the potential to reduce individual risk and population harm associated with tobacco use. This site is for use by scientists, the public health and regulatory communities, and other stakeholders with an interest in tobacco policy.

      Reduced Risk Products ("RRPs”) is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continuing smoking. PMI has a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Our RRPs are smoke-free products that produce an aerosol that contains far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents than found in cigarette smoke.
