Hyderabad: Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in its ‘Vision paper’ called for modern animal-free test methods to replace animal research.
ICMR has recognized the “need for alternatives to animals in experimentation” in a new publication authored by former ICMR Director-General Dr Sowmya Swaminathan and other senior leadership, with expert input from Humane Society International/India (HIS/India).
In its paper, published this month in the Indian Journal of Medical Research, ICMR called for the development and use of a “21st-century toolbox” of human-relevant, non-animal techniques to make India self-reliant in the development of non-animal technologies, Ms Brinda Poojary, Science Advisor, Research and Toxicology Department, HIS, said in a release on Wednesday.
