A spokesperson for the UK-based Understanding Animal Research organisation was sceptical about the scientists’ claims, saying: “Those who do animal testing are also the biggest investors in ...
Its goal was "to develop, validate, and promote laboratory methods and techniques that don't use animal test subjects". [1] It was the first centre in Canada dedicated to non-animal testing and the promotion of human-relevant alternatives. [2] [3] The CCAAM ceased operations on May 31, 2024 due to budget cuts at the University of Windsor. [4]
