Hamburg: New professorship for the reduction of animal experiments Featured

The University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) establishes a professorship for 3R methods. For this purpose, there will be a start-up financing of 200,000 euros, half each from the UKE and the city.


The holder of the position, which is advertised worldwide, should research into the further development of alternative methods to animal experiments, such as computer simulations, organ simulations or permanent cell cultures. The position will be settled in the Department of Laboratory Animal Science in the field of Refinement, Reduction, Replacement (3R Method).
