General Database Information
ATLA is published by FRAME, and has been a key scientific journal in the field of laboratory animal alternatives for more than 30 years. Circulated worldwide, ATLA is distributed to individuals, organisations and institutions. It covers the latest research relating to alternatives to the use of laboratory animals.
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.
- Cell-based Disease Models (replacement)
- 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)
LAS Interactive brings together the free information portal vtk online and the training portal las campus. The website adresses researchers, students, competent authorities, trainers as well as technical staff at Universities, independent research facilities and the industry.
Modern human-relevant technology has the potential to provide answers traditionally sought through animal research. Yet in many of these areas there is little momentum to transition away from animal use. Education is a key driver that helps increase the impetus for change.
Replacing Animal Research believes that a whole system approach to replacing animals in research is the best way to facilitate change and ensure the development and uptake of human-relevant research methods. This system is driven by the work and choices made by various stakeholders including funders, journal editors, regulators, industry, academics, legislators, and of course scientists. Relevant training and awareness of the current research landscape are important in these roles to help inform valid scientific and ethical choices, and help prioritise non-animal research.. Through education it is possible to share information about the system, develop confidence in the use of alternative methods, and challenge the use of animals in different areas of research and testing.
