The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced plans this week to reduce its reliance on animal testing in federally funded research and instead prioritize human-based alternatives. 

This comes on the heels of the FDA’s recent announcement to end animal testing and instead use human-based technologies. 

These decisions follow a growing recognition from doctors, the scientific community and Congress that animal testing is no longer the most reliable or efficient method for predicting how drugs will work. 

A new survey from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine shows 85% of Americans agree with ending animal testing. Catharine Krebs, PhD, Medical Research Program Manager explains.
