Registration Details
This webinar has reached capacity (1,000 registrants). Further registrants will be placed on a waitlist and will be notified if a place becomes available.
A recording of the session will be available within one week on The Togeth3R Consortium webpage.
Registration remains open for further webinars in this series. Due to demand, we recommend registering as soon as possible:
- Non-animal approaches in neuroscience, Wednesday 12 March.
- Non-animal approaches in cardiovascular science, Wednesday 19 March.
The latest webinar series from The Togeth3R Consortium of European 3Rs centres will showcase non-animal approaches in research fields associated with high levels of animal use across four sessions. In each webinar we will hear from three researchers about the scientific benefits and replacement impacts of their models, before a panel discussion where you can ask your questions about developing and using non-animal methods in your field of research. Learn more about the series in our news item: Non-animal approaches across Europe.
This webinar explores the development and application of non-animal approaches in oncology, including organoids to study lung cancer and leukaemia, microphysiological systems and using patient samples to improve translation. Oncology is the third highest area of animal use for basic research in the UK and Europe with researchers often relying on animals to investigate how tumours grow and develop new treatments.
