It’s BOARD#25 Campaign! We celebrate Imperial Openness about the use of Animals in Research explaining why we use animals and what we do to improve the 3Rs at the University.
Watch this video to learn from Dr David Peeler, research fellow in the Department of Materials and Department of Infectious Disease the journey to develop self-amplify RNA vaccine delivery systems and why mice models are still crucial in immunology research. David also explains the routes to improving the 3Rs in his studies using human skin, imaging techniques and support from the Imperial 3RsHub.
From advanced imaging techniques to study cancer, to studying the recruitment of myeloid cells to injury sites and to model cardiac arrhythmias and muscle dysfunctions, Zebrafish are a cornerstone of our biomedical research. In this video we explain how and why zebrafish are used at Imperial College London and how our experienced staff provides environmental enrichment to enhance their health and the quality of the research.
