From lab animal to lab model: an animal-free future in the lab

“The Centre for Animal-Free Biomedical Translation (CPBT): a knowledge centre for valorizing and disseminating animal-free innovations and expertise.”

The translation of biomedical knowledge to patients and users results in new medicines, medical technologies, and food products. This benefits our health, our environment, and economy. Animal testing is currently an important link in the biomedical development process, but it is increasingly under pressure. Often, animal tests are not a good model for human application. To continue improving the health of humans and animals, a radically different approach is needed: making the step to humans and animals faster and more effective, without relying on animal testing by default.

The new Center for Animal-Free Biomedical Translation (CPBT, in Dutch: Ccenter for Proefdier free Bimedical Ttranslation) will shape this approach, creating new business opportunities around animal-free technologies and biomedical translation.
