NC3Rs | 20 Years: Pioneering Better Science
News

Home Office statistics announced

Our Chief Executive, Dr Vicky Robinson, comments on this year's statistics on animal research.

"The headline figures in the Home Office statistics tell us how many animals have been used in broad scientific areas. They do not provide any information on the experiments that were avoided because of the NC3Rs work to replace animal use or our efforts to improve the welfare of those animals that continue to be used.  We are working at the heart of the UK's scientific community to develop alternatives and change the way science is practiced."
