Animal research strategy for RGU
Animal research continues to make contributions to understanding health and developing modern medicines and surgical techniques. It accounts for a small but essential part of RGU's research as the University remains committed to the principles of the 3Rs - reduction, refinement, and replacement, using the latest science and technologies to drive it forward.
There are strict laws that control animal research.
High standards of animal welfare underpin all of our research.
We aim to replace, reduce and refine research involving animals.
The Concordat on Openness in Animal Research is a set of commitments for UK-based Life Science organisations to enhance their animal research communications.
Experts at RGU have been conducting research to compile thorough case studies.
