What does the Dr Hadwen Trust aim to achieve with its research programmes?
The Dr Hadwen Trust is a registered charity established in 1970 to fund the development and promote the use of techniques and procedures to replace the use of animals, mainly in medical research and testing. Most researchers, research funders and regulators now accept the importance of replacing animal procedures, and agree that the ultimate goal is to conduct medical research and safety testing without using living animals. We believe that excellence in medical research can and should be pursued without animal experiments.
