The EU Joint Research Center (JRC) is assembling a multidisciplinary group of experts to critically evaluate the current use of animal models as well as the integration of animal-free approaches in cardiovascular research. The work will enable a comprehensive assessment of the scientific, ethical, and practical dimensions of replacing and reducing the use of laboratory animals in this field.
A key objective of this review is to accelerate the introduction of animal-free models and methodologies where scientifically valid and methodologically robust. This includes identifying and promoting animal-free approaches that can improve the relevance and reproducibility of cardiovascular research results while reducing dependence on animal experiments.
