Unraveling our reliance on animal experiments will require embracing fresh perspectives and disrupting the status quo, and the NIH is now prioritizing this work. The new initiative to prioritize human-based science is necessary, and it will have profound impacts on human health.

Can AI help us leave animal testing behind? Next week at sxswlondon, founder & CSO Quin Wills will explore what it takes to align machine learning with the complexity of living human tissues & how human-first models could transform the lives of millions. sxswlondon.com/session/can-ai…

🔬 New Nature study: an 18-organ “body-on-a-chip” links heart, liver, brain & more via microfluidic blood flow + excretory loop. Stable for 2 months, reproducing human PK & toxicity across tissues—huge leap for complex in-vitro testing nature.com/articles/s4137…

If the UK fails to invest in technologies like organ-on-a-chip systems and 3D human tissue models, we risk falling behind scientifically. These methods are faster, safer, cheaper and more reliable. This is a win–win opportunity for the Government. #betterscience  #humanrelevant

📚 New MPS Roadmap: A fresh review (Hartung et al., ALTEX) outlines challenges holding back organ-on-chip adoption: need for standards, validation benchmarks, regulatory clarity, data sharing… and calls for global collaboration to solve them. Essential read for OOC folks!

We love this campaign from Doctors Against Animal Experiments, which challenges the idea that patients should be grateful that animals are used to research their disease. 👏 The charity spoke with patients facing different conditions about their views on animal experiments.

"Making NAMs a ‘Complement’ to animal experimentation is the Trojan Horse of the animal-industrial complex." 💯 Brilliant new piece by ZaherNahle.PhD.MPA exposes how framing animal-free research as secondary serves entrenched industry interests. A must-read: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

#NIH aims to expand innovative, human-based technologies to answer tough questions about biomedical research. We’re helping to achieve this with support for 3-D tissue models, like tissue chips! #TissueChips can mimic the structure & function of the heart, kidneys, lungs & other

Today on Horseshoe Crab Day, we need YOUR help! 🦀🙏 Nearly 1M horseshoe crabs are bled live yearly for medical tests—many die. This is unnecessary because safe non-animal methods exist! TAKE ACTION: Sign to keep horseshoe crabs in oceans & out of labs! secure.humaneworld.org/page/173230/ac…

It was an honor to deliver the 2025 convocation address for Simon Fraser University. I spoke about the urgent need to rethink our war on #Cancer with the first cell, not the last. 🎓To the graduates: lead with humanity. Science must serve life. Simon Fraser University The First Cell
