| Description: | -animal ethical bases and the evolution of man’s perception of animals through the ages and according to civilizations and countries; -an overview of different alternative methods and their status of validation. She introduced different international organisations for the validation of alternative methods, in particular EURL ECVAM (European Union Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing); -a new cell culture platform dedicated to teaching which is supported by the World Bank and started in 2012; |
