Share organs and tissues
As a researcher, you often use only one or two organs from an animal in your experiment and discard the rest of the body. Many organs could be used by other researchers instead of being left unused.
If you share organs and data, the number of animals used in experiments and the number of animals bred for experiments can be reduced.
According to the EU Directive on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes, we shall promote the development of programs for shared use of organs and tissues of animals that are killed.
We collect information about services and resources that help researchers to share organs and tissues.
