In our latest interview, we sat down with our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Yingbin Ouyang from Cyagen to discuss the ethical considerations in scientific research, particularly balancing animal welfare with research goals. 🧬🐁 Dr. Ouyang emphasized the importance of the 𝟑𝐑 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 (𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙚, 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚) in ethical research: ✅ Replace animal experiments with alternatives where possible. ✅ Refine procedures to minimize animal pain & distress. ✅ Reduce the number of animals used while maintaining valid results. Ethics and progress go hand in hand in research! 💡 #scientificethics #animalwelfare #researchinnovation #3Rprinciple #Cyagen #animalhealth #3R #scienceandtechnology #biotech

The annual reports of the Transparency Agreements (TA) on animal research in the Netherlands and Portugal, recently published, have charted good improvements in openness among their signatory institutions in the last year. The Portuguese report has been published this week, at the start of the Animal Research Open Week (#OPENWEEKPT24), showing that the majority of the signatory institutions have engaged with the public, while the Netherlands Transparency Agreement published its report during #BOARD24 and found that biomedical institutions are using an increasing number of ways to communicate with the public.

"Beyond the Lab: Exploring the Ethical and Scientific Dimensions of Animal Research", 🔬 In this article, the crucial ethical and scientific aspects surrounding animal research, shedding light on the complexities researchers navigate beyond the laboratory, have been focused on. 🌍 It's not just about the science; it's about understanding the ethical considerations that underpin every experiment. Our goal is to initiate meaningful conversations and contribute to a more informed dialogue about the vital role of animal research in advancing scientific knowledge. 🏢 I am immensely happy to be associated with the Centre for Lab Animal Research and Training at West Bengal Livestock Development Corporation Limited. Their commitment to excellence and ethical standards in conducting animal research is commendable. 🌱 🤝 As a Contract Research Organization, our shared mission is to advance scientific understanding and raise awareness about responsible and ethical practices in animal research. 🌐 ##AnimalResearch #EthicalScience #ScientificInnovation #ResearchEthics #ScribdUpload #LabAnimalResearch #WestBengalLivestockDevelopmentCorporation #ContractResearchOrganization #ScienceAndEthics #ResearchCommunity #TransparencyInScience

Our April Human-Animal Studies Report is out! With the end of the semester around the corner, there are fewer calls this month for writing endeavors and speaking events. That doesn’t mean there’s a dearth of publications this month though! This is a month for reading, including new issues of both of ASI’s managed academic journals, Society & Animals and the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science. Find Open Access chapters, news, funding opportunities, and more in the link below. #HumanAnimalStudies #AnimalsandSociety #AcademicJournals

‘Surely, one day, though, our children’s children, reading about what was done in laboratories in our era, will feel the same sense of horror and incredulity at what otherwise civilized people could do that we now feel when we read about the atrocities of the Roman gladiatorial arenas or the eighteenth-century slave trade.’ Professor of Bioethics Peter Singer is quoted from Chapter 2, pg 106, of Animal Liberation Now, published in 2023.   Help us to end #animalexperimentation in Australian #biomedical #research, learn more:   https://lnkd.in/gkv_ZXHB   #EndAnimalExperimentation #EndAnimalExperiments #EndAnimalTesting #CrueltyFree #AnimalExperiments #AnimalExperimentation #AnimalTesting #AnimalFreeScience #AnimalFreeResearch 

The 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in #AnimalResearch aren’t just ethical principles—they’re game-changers! By embracing the #3Rs, researchers can achieve better data quality, meet regulatory standards, gain public trust, and cut costs - all while ensuring humane and responsible research practices. In this blog, authors Ashlie N. Reker, PhD and Christian Garcia, PhD explore 4 ways technology is leading the way to: 1.       Provide safer pain management for animals 2.       Enhance the animals’ environment 3.       Better track and manage animal health 4.       Optimize the vivarium and maintain the animal colony #AnimalWelfare #EthicalResearch #ResearchAdvancements #InvivoResearch

Just wrapped up an insightful workshop on Understanding Methodologies & Biosafety in Animal Research (UMBAR-2024) at CSIR-IMTECH! Learned valuable skills in #BSL3Exposure, #AnimalHandling, and #BloodSampleCollection, gaining a deeper understanding of #AnimalModels and #AnimalFacility management. Big thanks to Dr. Neeraj, Dr. Sachin Rout, and the entire team for their expertise! #Research #AnimalScience #Biosafety

This excellent article really highlights the value of the 3Rs.

#TPcorporate - Together with the Shang Laboratory Animal Science Association, the Shanghai Lab Animal Research Center, and Laboratory Animal and Comparative Medicine, 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 has introduced ARRIVE 2.0 to the Chinese laboratory industry. The ARRIVE (𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘃𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀) guidelines are a checklist of recommendations for the comprehensive and transparent reporting of research involving animals, maximizing the quality and reliability of published research and enabling others to better scrutinize, evaluate, and reproduce it. Tecniplast China's main goal is to help improve animal welfare in the Chinese LAS industry while sharpening our branding and consolidating our link with Key Opinion Leaders (𝗞𝗼𝗟𝘀), individuals with substantial influence in a particular field. #LAS #Tecniplast #AnimalResearch

🌍 3R Centers Harness the Human Mindset to Advance Animal Research Exciting developments are underway in the world of animal research! A new article by Charlotte Harrison in Lab Animal explores how 3R centers are tackling the challenges of implementing the 3Rs—replacement, reduction, and refinement—by leveraging human behavior and fostering collaboration among scientists. From the innovative practice of rat tickling to the adoption of environmental health monitoring, these centers are making significant strides in improving animal welfare while enhancing research outcomes. As we continue to innovate in the realm of biomedical research, embracing the 3Rs is crucial for both ethical and scientific advancements.
