Ethical Practices Guided by the 3Rs
At Galileo Research, we recognize the importance of balancing regulatory requirements with ethical responsibility. Our studies involving animals adhere to the highest standards of care and scientific rigor. This ensures both the validity of our research and the humane treatment of all animals involved.
GR is fully authorized by the Italian Ministry of Health to conduct studies in rodents. Our commitment to animal welfare is deeply rooted in the 3Rs principle:
- Replacement: Utilizing validated in vitro and in silico methods whenever possible.
- Reduction: Minimizing the number of animals used through optimized study designs.
- Refinement: Employing advanced procedures to enhance animal care and reduce discomfort.
Specialized Care and Scientific Progress
Animal welfare is integral to our research process. A qualified veterinary team oversees the care of animals, supported by experienced personnel trained in the ethical handling and evaluation of laboratory animals. Moreover, we actively contribute to global efforts to develop reliable non-animal alternatives, striving for a future where animal testing is minimized without compromising scientific integrity.
