A sea change is underway that recognises the opportunities non-animal research methods present. Humane and human relevant, they are set to transform testing into the future. This page provides a brief overview of the hi-tech methods and click here to find out about the hurdles to be overcome and some of the key-players.
The conditions needed for these scientific breakthroughs to take place lie inside our control. Funding, co-operation and political will are vital. Hurdles need to be overcome and practices put in place to quicken the pace of progress.
Hi-tech procedures, replacing the need for animal testing, offer real hope of humane scientific research. Each of these new methods hold enormous potential; not only more humane, the findings have direct relevance to humans.
