From the organizers:
Summary
To highlight the transition towards animal free research and showcase ongoing efforts in alternative testing methods, a symposium will be organized at the LUMC. The event aims to raise awareness, facilitate discussion, and provide insights into existing non-animal research approaches within the Leiden community.
Aim
This symposium aims to bring together investigators, researchers and professionals on laboratory animal-experimentation and welfare to explore the latest developments in the use of animal models and alternatives in scientific research performed at the LUMC, UL and the Leiden Bio Science Park (LBSP).
By fostering collaboration and discussion, this event seeks to enhance our understanding of considerations for current research: technological advancements and innovative approaches but also possible limitations that contribute to both the progress of scientific inquiry for optimal research models. Join us in this intellectual exchange to shape the future of research methodologies and considerations to choose the best practices in the pursuit of scientific excellence.
We are happy to present below the program for this symposium and are looking forward to receiving abstracts for oral and / or poster presentation.
