Event: Towards Reducing Animal Testing

Institute of Nanotechnology

28-29 May 2008, Royal Society, London

Animal testing is costly and there is a great deal of research on finding viable and effective alternatives (new methods that refine existing tests by minimizing animal distress, reducing animal usage, or replacing whole animal tests). This conference will examine the role nanotechnology could also play in improving or refining the development of alternatives to animal testing whilst maintaining safety.
