🐾 Today is the #WorldDayForLaboratoryAnimals! Find out about our projects working on the #3Rs.
🐭 VICT3R developed virtual control groups that could replace 4000 rats in preclinical studies in the EU every year
🐠 PREMIER developed a decision tree that could reduce the number of fish used in environmental risk assessments for older medicines by 30%
🧫 EBiSC is a bank of induced pluripotent stem cells which can be used instead of animals in many studies

🚨 Reframing Veterinary Vaccine Quality Control: A Needed Shift

Traditional veterinary vaccine quality control has long relied on animal-based potency and challenge assays—methods once considered the gold standard.
But today, the field is evolving.

IHI project VICT3R has reached an important milestone in its quest to dramatically reduce the numbers of animals used in medicine safety testing by replacing actual control groups with ‘Virtual Control Groups’ (VCGs).
The European Medicines Agency has launched a consultation on a qualification opinion on the use of VCGs, as proposed by VICT3R, in certain studies. The consultation will run until 12 May, and details can be found at https://link.europa.eu/XqwHjG.
