Three Rs Resources

The Australian and New Zealand Council for the Care of Animals in Research and Teaching (ANZCCART) and the Ministry for Primary Industries have produced a series of booklets on the application of the three Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement) in the use of animals in research and teaching.

• Computer Assisted Learning (replacement)
• Mannequins and Dummies (replacement)
• Alternatives to shellfish toxicity testing (replacement) 
• Fireflies to the rescue (reduction)
• Mathematical models (reduction)
• Tissue sharing (reduction)
• Simple ingenuity (refinement)
• Non-Invasive Methods (refinement)
• Living syringes (refinement)
• Oil emulsified gels (refinement)

Welcome to the Node: the community site for and by developmental biologists. The Node is a place for you to share news from the developmental biology community, to discuss relevant topics or just see what’s new. And you can do more than reading – we are a community site, so anyone can post on the Node after creating an account. The Node is run by the journal Development and its publisher, The Company of Biologists. We get around 20,000 visitors per month, and typically publish one post per day.

Researchers can apply for access to data from health registries and health studies, as well as biological material from the biobanks. Here you will find guidelines and electronic application forms.
