Scientific Community Urged to Embrace Non-Animal Research Methods as Regulatory Shift Accelerates

Scientific journals, funders and regulators face mounting pressure to embrace innovative non-animal testing methods that promise more accurate and ethical research. New approach methodologies are gaining regulatory support worldwide as evidence of their superiority over traditional animal models grows.

Scientific Paradigm Shift Accelerates

Researchers are increasingly advocating for wider adoption of novel alternative methods (NAMs) in biomedical research, according to reports from scientists pioneering these approaches. These methodologies, which include advanced cell cultures, organoids, and computational models, are reportedly gaining traction as regulatory agencies worldwide begin mandating reduced reliance on animal testing.
