The value of vital tissue
In this project we will inform and involve the general public about biomedical research: in particular the (in)possibilities of the use of human tissue. Human residual tissue is left over from surgery and otherwise thrown away. In scientific research, increasingly human residual tissue is used instead of animal experiments.
Objective
We want to make people aware of the value of this residual tissue and inform them that they can contribute to scientific research by donating residual tissue.
Results
We want to reach people on the street as well as patients and invite them to talk to scientists and doctors during the science streams. Our communication tools will be exhibited in museum Corpus (Leiden).
Duration
01 April 2021 - 31 October 2022
Approach
We use contemporary digital communication, such as interactive billboards, augmented reality (AR), science streams, to reach the target groups. We start with the basics: making people aware of their own body and the different tissues in their body.
