General
Biomedical science is transitioning, with a shift from animal research to animal-free innovations driven by technology, ethics, and the demand for human-relevant models. At Amsterdam UMC, transparency is key in shaping policies—making open discussion essential.
Why are animal experiments still needed? Can we accelerate the transition to animal-free models? What role does Amsterdam UMC play in this shift?
