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
