The most recent webinar series from The Togeth3R Consortium was watched by 3,231 people from across the world. If you were not able to attend, the recordings of the talks are available.
The latest webinar series in our ongoing collaboration with 3Rs centres across Europe showcased advances in model development and opportunities to apply non-animal approaches to the highest areas of animal use for basic research in the UK and Europe*. With scientists from six continents and 53 countries registering to attend, the interest in this series highlights a global drive to develop and use models that deliver the best science and replace animal use.
Watch the recordings to learn more about organoids, microphysiological systems, using patient-derived samples and computational modelling in fields of research associated with high levels of animal use:
- Infection and immunity.
- Oncology.
- Neuroscience.
- Cardiovascular science.
“Collaborating with European 3Rs Centres on this webinar series proved to be a powerful way to promote replacement in these key research areas. Joining forces not only helped showcase cutting-edge non-animal methods, but also amplified our outreach and elevated the visibility of the 3Rs.”
Aude Rapet, Swiss 3RCC
Each session concluded with a panel discussion where speakers answered questions and shared their perspectives on replacement technologies. Topics covered included the new scientific insights offered by the models, how to validate new approaches and protocols, the importance of clinical relevance and opportunities for personalised medicine, and how to help new users take up alternative approaches in their research.
