The main message is that at the NC3Rs...
we are really working to reduce our reliance on animal toxicity testing...
but at the same time, improve the science and the predictivity.
And we do this by working together and collaborating with industry and regulators...
to share data, to provide in evidence to support recommendations for change...
and to promote best practice.
I think we've shown that we can make a huge difference by working together.
There is huge variation in the different approaches being made.
And as a first start, we can try and streamline and minimise study designs.
Then the next step is to look at how we can...
remove the need for those animal toxicity tests all together...
as well as refining where we do still need them.
