About animal research
More information
TNU researchers also work with alternative methods, such as fruitflies, organoids, computer models and human experiments with imaging, and are regularly involved in outreach activities explaining the need for animal usage in research as well as communicating the results obtained in animal research.
The TNU strives for openness in animal research and is also an EARA member. In June 2021, Radboud University has also signed the transparency agreement where signatories commit to be open and transparent about using animals in research.
