How can zebrafish eggs help us understand climate change?
The last decade was the hottest on record, and its consequences go far beyond melting glaciers. Climate change is disrupting ecosystems, threatening food security, and putting human health at risk. To address these complex challenges, scientists need research tools that are not only robust and predictive but also ethical and scalable. That’s where New Approach […]
From promise to practice: Why alternatives to animal testing aren’t yet scalable
As described in last month’s article, New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and Non-Animal Technologies (NATs), like organoids or fish eggs, are transforming the landscape of biomedical research, toxicology, and drug development. By offering human-relevant insights while reducing or replacing animal use, they hold the promise of more ethical, predictive, and cost-effective science. So, what’s limiting their […]
Towards a future beyond animal testing?
As spring fades into summer and nature bursts into full bloom, it is a fitting time to reflect on scientific approaches that promote innovation while advancing more ethical and sustainable research practices. This past spring was filled with events and initiatives that energized the research community and accelerated the development of forward-thinking solutions. Among them, […]
