For innovative, ethical, and reliable biomedical research and a better assessment of chemicals
A pioneering organization in France, founded in 1989 by Christiane Laupie-Koechlin under the honorary presidency of Prof. Théodore Monod.
The Committee's main missions:
- Promote and accelerate the implementation of new non-animal approaches (NAMs) focused on human data (complex 3D in vitro models, artificial intelligence, digital twins, etc.)
- Foster dialogue, and support key stakeholders (industry, public research, institutions, and regulatory agencies)
- Raise awareness and inform civil society about the challenges of public health, innovation, competitiveness, and sovereignty
- Fund leading research through the Descroix-Vernier EthicScience Prize, the only French prize exclusively dedicated to non-animal methods
