Alternatives to Animal Testing
A growing number of alternatives to animal experimentation are available, offering different approaches to research. These include computational methods like patient-drug databases, virtual trials, and simulations; noninvasive imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans; human-centric methods like microdosing; and in vitro techniques utilizing human cell cultures, tissue cultures, stem cells, and genetic testing.
