Dear Visitor

Welcome to our new internet platform for non-animal research.

The development of animal free methods in research has advanced rapidly in recent years. This website was created to support this increasingly important branch of research.

Our job exchange offers the opportunity to gain information about current job offers as well as for employers to post vacancies.

For students we regularly update a list of working groups which work with animal free methods, thus facilitating the search for an appropriate thesis assignment or internship.

You can also contact us directly. We will be glad to advise and inform you about current methods in animal free research.

We are continuously developing our internet platform and would therefore appreciate any suggestions for improvements.

Your InVitroJobs team
