Alternatives to animal testing can be used for toxicological research, such as chemical safety and drug effectiveness testing, or other types of biomedical research that examine biological mechanisms of disease.
Due to innovations in science, animal tests are being replaced in areas such as toxicity testing, neuroscience and drug development. But much more needs to be done. Once new non-animal methods have been developed, there are often massive bureaucratic hurdles to implementing and enforcing their use.
3 Ιουν 2021 · The EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (ECVAM) has been developing, validating and promoting non-animal methods for 30 years. Learn about the achievements, challenges and future prospects of replacing animal tests with modern approaches in the EU.
12 Μαρ 2024 · Among the 2023 highlights: new in vitro methods under consideration for regulatory application, a virtual reality application for education in schools, and enhancing collaboration to promote innovative non-animal approaches.
1 Ιουλ 2015 · Various methods have been suggested to avoid the animal use in experimentation. These methods provide an alternative means for the drug and chemical testing, up to some levels. Advantages associated with these methods are, time efficiency, requires less man power, and cost effectiveness.
ECHA works to avoid unnecessary testing on animals and promotes alternative test methods. It acts proactively to ensure that animal testing is used only as a last resort, providing regulatory expertise and investing in worldwide platforms on chemicals data, such as IUCLID and the QSAR Toolbox.
EFSA’s Scientific Committee has identified possibilities for replacement, reduction and refinement of animal testing within EFSA’s scientific assessment activities. The Committee has also reviewed alternative methodologies that can be used to assess the safety of chemicals and can reduce animal use in toxicological research.
