The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has launched a new project (VICT3R) [LINK], with the goal to reduce use of animals used in safety testing by replacing actual control groups with ‘Virtual Control Groups’. Ferran Sanz, project coordinatorof Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Spain, said, “Data reuse and data sharing, as well as the application of AI approaches, engender terrific opportunities for implementing the 3R principles in the use of animals in preclinical research”.
