Biomedical ethics, also known as medical ethics or bioethics, is a concentration of ethical study focusing on the clinical medicine and the scientific research that informs medicine. Biomedical ethics is devised from an accepted set of values that medical and healthcare professionals refer to in an effort to avoid conflict or confusion.
The concept of the 3Rs remains more prevalent than ever in global discussions related to humane animal use in aspects of research, teaching and testing. The 3Rs serve as a touchstone, in ter...
There is growing concern about the reliability of biomedical research results. Poor experimental design, inappropriate analysis methods and incomplete reporting have all contributed to incon...
Remarkable progress in life science and technology in the past century has advanced our fundamental understanding of the human body beyond our imagination. The ever-increasing knowledge of h...
Pain management includes the choice of analgesia agents, their dose, administration method, duration and frequency of treatment, and a pain-monitoring scheme for each individual animal. Insu...
Learning Objectives: 1. Methods on how to aseptically use foil (Reynolds Wrap) in rodent surgery 2. Methods on how aseptically use cling film (Press N' Seal) in rodent surgery 3. Long-te...
Novel neurotechnologies are generating exciting opportunities for groups in The BRAIN Initiative and the broader biomedical community to re-imagine the boundaries of recording and modulating...
Inherent in research, is the simplification of a complex world into a testing space to explore cause and effect. Across preclinical research, questions are being raised on the testing space...
Episodic memories are essential for human cognition, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. We utilize the opportunity to record in-vivo from human single neurons sim...
What motivates patients to participate in clinical trials? Discussions most often revolve around potential study participants’ perception of therapeutic benefit. Misconceptions about th...
There is a growing debate about the usefulness of animal studies in biomedical research and drug development. Some of the challenges in translation from animals to human patients may be from...
It is estimated that by the end of this year more than 1 million people worldwide will have had their genome sequenced. Genomic sequencing is increasingly being integrated into clinical care,...
Science continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Our understanding of laboratory animal behavior and welfare is also growing. The biomedical research community continues to receive criticisms fro...
A number of elements come into the mix when trying to optimise experimental design. Among these are having clear objectives, setting up valid comparisons, knowing how to avoid bias during the...
The proper surgical techniques represent a key opportunity to improve the welfare of laboratory rodents, while meeting legal and ethical obligations. Use of inappropriate or poor surgical tec...
Training for researchers using animals is a requirement in most European countries. However, somewhat surprisingly, the main actor in providing specific guidelines for such training is a scie...
Malignancies caused by so-called Type I chemical and biological carcinogens provide important opportunities studying early events in cancer development, providing essential information for de...
