Animal testing is still legally permitted under certain regulation.
However, the development of alternative methods is spreading rapidly.
AFI is an organization that fully supports this transition.

Cosmetics, medicines, and chemical products are tested using alternative methods to ensure human safety. They are often more reliable and accurate than traditional animal testing.

The U.S. Animal Welfare Act (AWA) only protects certain species, such as dogs, cats, and primates. Mice, rats, and birds, which are most commonly used in experiments, are excluded from legal protection.

Technologies like computer simulations and 3D cell cultures are part of the growing field of non-animal testing methods.

Lambda Biologics actively uses these technologies in its research!
