Valuing Testing: Valuing animal free testing in chemical safety assessments

    Project: NWO project

    Project Details

    Description

    Animal-studies remain to be the gold standard to study human safety of chemicals. Several animal-free models have been developed, but more needs to be done to transition to only using animal-free models for these chemical safety studies. In this project we will study the ethical values of stakeholders and institutions and start a citizens dialogue to explore current barriers. We will compare simple cell models and complex models that resemble the liver to explore if these models can be incorporated in safety assessment procedures. Study designs will be discussed with stakeholders to optimize the likely of acceptance of data.

    Description

    Er worden nog steeds veel dierproeven uitgevoerd om de veiligheid van stoffen voor de mens te onderzoeken. Er zijn dierproefvrije alternatieven beschikbaar, maar deze worden nog onvoldoende ingezet. In dit project doen we onderzoek naar de waardes die mensen geven aan dieren en dierproefvrije methoden. We onderzoeken twee typen dierproefvrije methodes, die gebruik maken van cel modellen of complexe modellen die de lever functie benaderen. We gaan de studie opzet bespreken met eindgebruikers en burgers om daarmee de kans op acceptatie van de uitkomsten te vergroten.
