It’s a common misconception that drug safety testing has to use animals. But the UK gov confirms: 💬 “There is no UK legislation that mandates animal testing" and "data from a suitably validated model could be submitted in lieu of animal data.”

Ultimately, why refine procedures or reduce the number of animals used in research if the experiments themselves lack human relevance? Replacement is the only 'R' that matters.

At THRT, we fund research that replaces animal testing with human-relevant methods like QSAR - which use computer simulations to forecast toxicity and drug responses. It’s science that’s smarter, faster, and kinder.

Many people picture human 'lab rats' when they think of patient studies. 🐀 The reality is, scientists are using innovative methods from computer modelling, to use of imaging technologies, to microdosing of drugs.

Organoids are made from pluripotent stem cells, which have the unique ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body. By essentially recreating an organ, researchers can mimic biological processes, study diseases that affect that organ, and test potential treatments.
