Human models for human diseases
We strongly believe that human cells and tissue provide the best and most accurate models for human disease.
This belief is exemplified by the
current research we are supporting. It is the fundamental basis on which we award our grants.
A world where no animals or animal products are used to research human health
We are committed to a future where the use of animals and animal-derived materials is obsolete in all medical research projects throughout the world.
To educate and support scientists to find and use alternatives to animals and animal products in medical research
Alongside our
programme of research grants, we are also committed to promoting the efficacy of non-animal models in medical research.
To learn more about what we are doing to achieve our vision, please read our
2023-2026 Strategy.
Animal welfare is just as important as human health
We have a strong and genuine passion for animals and people and our goal is to reduce suffering for us all. We believe that medical research involving animals cannot be justified, whatever the circumstance.
