Animal-Free Safety Assessment (AFSA) Collaboration

The @AFSAcollab helped drive this milestone, working with regulators, biopharma companies & reagent suppliers to build the case for rFC in Brazil. Read #AFSApartner, @humaneworldorg' press release to learn more: humaneworld.org/en/news/brazil…

🦀 A major win for horseshoe crabs & non-animal science! Brazil has recognized recombinant Factor C (rFC) as the official method for detecting bacterial endotoxins in medical products, replacing the traditional horseshoe crab blood-derived test over a 5-year transition.

Thank you to everyone who joined our webinar, “AFSA's role in shaping future of animal-free science in EU chemical regulation.” And thanks to our speakers for sharing their insights and expertise. Missed the live event? Watch the recording: ▶️ afsacollaboration.org/sciencex_event…

🎉 Exciting news! @drreddys has joined the @AFSAcollab! We're proud to partner with Dr. Reddy's Laboratories to help advance animal-free science & accelerate the adoption of human-relevant, non-animal methods in drug development & testing. Welcome to the #AFSAFamily, @drreddys!

Register for our webinar where we will explore the current EU regulatory landscape, discuss opportunities & challenges ahead & present how our projects can help drive meaningful progress toward replacing animal testing for chemical safety assessment. 🔗 afsacollaboration.org/sciencex_event…
