Animals, Research, and Alternatives Conference • August 26-27, 2010 • Washington, DC
Fifty years after the development of the model to reduce, refine, and replace animals in research, join global experts to discuss the progress that has been made—and the opportunities that lie ahead at The Animals, Research, and Alternatives: Measuring Progress 50 Years Later on Aug. 26 and 27, 2010, in Washington, D.C. The conference is sponsored by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and the George Washington University Medical Center, along with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing, the Institute for In Vitro Sciences, and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University. The Conference will explore animal experimentation, changing cultural perspectives about the status of animals in society, and new alternatives to animal research. Scientists, researchers, medical professionals, ethicists, students, policymakers, and government officials are encouraged to join the conversation by submitting abstracts on alternatives to animal experimentation or ethical or scientific considerations regarding using animals in experiments. The conference is a Continuing Medical Education event. The deadline for abstract submission is May 15, 2010.
