Dr Hadwen goes where our political leaders fear to tread! The subject of non-animal medical research is a hugely tricky and emotive area, generating vastly polarised arguments which all too often end in anger and deadlock as each side 'digs in'. The Trust is seeking to establish cut-through, recognising the need to advance the cause of medical research - which benefits both humans and animals - while exploring viable alternatives, which one day may end the pain and suffering undoubtedly caused by animal experimentation. It offers a clear vision, articulated in a credible, intelligent voice - and with advances such as creating the world’s first professorial chair in animal replacement science, it is demonstrating the value of working with the scientific community rather than against them. Ultimately, I am sure that both sides of the experimentation argument would agree that it would be better not to have to depend on expensive, often unreliable testing that all too often invokes such an unpopular public backlash. The Trust is promoting and funding practical steps forward to ensure this vision becomes a reality.
