Technology: Animal Experiments
- Question
-
What assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of new technologies on the use of animals in medical research.
- Answer
-
The Government is committed to the development of alternatives to using animals in science and will publish a strategy to support their adoption later this year.
We support new technologies and approaches that replace animal use in research including organ-on-a-chip, functional genomics and computer modelling.
The impact of individual technical advancements are a matter for individual regulators to consider.
The Government strategy will facilitate the inclusion and adoption of alternative methods in these regulatory contexts.
