Science Consortium Empowers Scientists with Innovative Non-Animal Toxicology Training

Thanks to an award from PETA Science Consortium International e.V., two early-career scientists attended the tenth annual iteration of a prestigious non-animal toxicology training course in Luxembourg. The course allowed them to learn about and gain hands-on experience with non-animal tests for assessing a chemical’s ability to cause eye, skin, or lung irritation, skin allergies, or cancer.

In addition, the Science Consortium awarded nine scientists from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency free registration to attend a four-day training course on in vitro methods in toxicology at a prestigious non-animal testing and training laboratory in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
