Lush Prize Conference 2014 Featured
On November 14th the LUSH Company is hosting a conference in London. It will be discussed whether the 3R concept (reduce, refine, replace of animal experiments) developed by Russel & Burch in the 1950s “has had its day” or whether the new tox21 concept that entails a total replacement of animals, for instance using pathway-based approaches, is still so far off that 3R will stay relevant for many years to come.
