The Belgian RE-Place project centralizes and stimulates the development and application of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) – innovative methods that contribute to the eventual replacement of laboratory animals. We do this by bundling existing Belgian expertise in a public database in order to foster collaborations within the life sciences and accelerate their implementation in the long term.
RE-Place
