Animal Models - GEG Tech top picks

Animal testing is a crucial part of developing new medicines, but it is accompanied by a host of ethical concerns. Stem cells could be one of the alternatives, according to the European Commission’s Joint Research Center on alternative methods to animal experimentation in research and regulation. While attention to stem cells has been focused on potential in regenerative medicine, they have also earned a reputation in R&D for their capacity to produce human tissues and to model diseases. Indeed, they could lead to the development of more ethical, efficient and economical tools that could fast track R&D.
