Imagine a world where lab rats are replaced by lab robots, with human cell cultures and high-tech computer models instead of lethal tests on animals. That’s not science fiction, that’s science future—21st century safety testing as envisioned by leading scientists.


Today, scientific and government authorities worldwide are finally acknowledging the deficiencies of animal testing and called for a new approach to safety testing using state-of-the-art techniques. Advances in biology, genetics, computer science and robotics have given scientists new tools to help identify the root causes of human toxicity and disease.

HSI has partnered with multinational companies, scientists and alternative method developers to create unprecedented initiatives—AXLR8 and the Human Toxicology Project Consortium. Together we’re working to create a future without animal testing.


The AXLR8 Project

An HSI-driven effort to accelerate the transition to a cell- and computer-based approach to chemical and drug safety assessment.
