UK Government Funds £75M for Drug Testing Alternatives
The UK government has allocated £75 million to fund the development of accelerated methods for finding safe and effective alternative drug testing models. These methods aim to reduce reliance on experimental animal testing in favor of tissue testing and other technologies. The funding is part of a strategic plan to meet specific research targets. Current data suggests over 90% of drugs perceived as safe through traditional methods may cost more to test on animals than alternative methods.
