We must utilise this opportunity to be more forthright about the fact that without animal research, the bio-pharmaceutical sector cannot continue to innovate new treatments.
We welcome the support of everyone who has signed the Declaration on openness on animal research so far – well known charities, funders, and academia, along with some of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world. The signing of this Declaration marks the beginning of a much larger process, with all areas of the life sciences community coming together to reaffirm the importance of our work and recommit to openness in animal research.
