CAAT-EU: Information Day in Constance Featured

This year, the first German chair for alternatives to animal use is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The event will be used to look back what milestones have been achieved in the 10 years. Titled "Progress in Alternative Methods in Toxicology and Biomedicine " the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) is organizing a symposium on July 8 in Constance.

With their support the Doerenkamp-Zbinden Foundation has significantly contributed to the success of the development of replacement methods to animal use. The Swiss foundation has supported several chairs for the development of replacement methods to animal experiment and its teaching in universities. At the symposium, the work of these chairs located in the USA, Germany, India, Switzerland and the Netherlands will be presented.
