Excerpt from the website: “This 1-week PhD course introduces along the 3Rs principles of “Replacement, Reduction and Refinement” the current developments in this field."
This course provides an overview of innovative research approaches and measures for the welfare of laboratory animals and discusses ethical aspects. The latter will take place on the first day of the course, which can also be taken separately.
In lectures and hands-on sessions, (mainly) Charité research groups present innovative methods such as 3D (bio-)printing, organoids or in silico modelling and how these could contribute to minimize animal use. Moreover, in interactive seminars we discuss ethical aspects how animal welfare in biomedical research can be improved. The courses are held in English, since they are aimed at international doctoral students affiliated to any university.”
National and international doctoral students from all Berlin universities can participate.
