Synopsis
From studying disease mechanisms to testing new therapeutics, animal models have long served as essential tools in molecular biology research. However, animal models have limitations, including challenges in accurately representing human biology and ethical and practical constraints. As a result, scientists are now exploring alternative approaches such as stem cells, organoids, and computational models.
In this live roundtable webinar, Joseph Wu, Donald Ingber, and Shannon Mumenthaler will discuss the emerging animal alternatives, the ethical considerations driving this shift, and the practical challenges of reducing, refining, and replacing animals in experiments.
