Is medical science doing enough to replace, reduce and refine animal experiments?

 

The DHT’s Science Director, Dr Sebastien Farnaud, joins Dr Vicky Robinson from the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research, in debating this key question in The Times’ Eureka science magazine.Check out what they both have to say in this month’s issue of Eureka where you can read their Fight Club essays and view their on-line debate.

 

 

 

 

 

Record number of humane research applications

 

The DHT has received a record number of applications from scientists for grants to develop non-animal techniques to replace animal experiments in medical research. This is an 84% increase in applications from the previous year and the highest overall intake in our forty year history. An increasing interest from scientists to develop new technology, which will advance medical research and replace animal experiments in the laboratory is a positive and significant step forward. The successful grant recipients and projects will be announced in the summer.
