BimmoH - Biomedical Models Hub

BimmoH is the largest dataset containing scientific article references making use of human biology-based models. It consolidates information on a wide range of models based on human biology, including organ-on-a-chip technologies, 3D cell cultures, and computational models. By bringing together these resources, it enables researchers to design studies that are more relevant and translatable to human health.

The platform makes these cutting-edge tools more accessible, fostering their wider adoption across the scientific community. Developed under a European Parliament Pilot Project by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, BimmoH uses artificial intelligence (machine learning techniques) to analyse millions of scientific papers, automatically identifying and organising references to human biology-based research methods.

The result is a comprehensive, curated collection of hundreds of thousands of resources that can significantly reduce research time and accelerate innovation. Beyond academia, BimmoH offers value to regulators, policymakers, funders, and industry stakeholders. It can inform evidence-based decisions across areas such as drug development, safety assessment, and early-stage biomedical exploration.

The initiative also supports the EU’s Three Rs principle (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement of animal use), reinforcing European leadership in animal welfare and sustainable innovation.
