Bas Blaauboer appointed professor |
|
November 2008
Bas Blaauboer was appointed professor for "Alternatives
to animal testing for toxicological risk assessment".
He will be looking for possibilities to eliminate the need
for ‘second species animals’. In this case, after testing on
rats or mice, a substance is tested again on a larger
mammal, such as a dog. In medical research, for example,
this second round of testing is still required by law. The
Swiss foundation "Doerenkamp-Zbinden
Foundation", which
supports research into the reduction of test animal use,
will fund the new chair for an amount of over € 1.5 million.
