Every year, millions of animals are used in experiments that often fail to translate to human health.
Animal testing isn’t just an animal welfare issue; it’s a scientific limitation., Nearly 90% of drugs that show promise in preclinical testing fail during human clinical trials, delaying critical treatments and wasting valuable resources.
At the same time, innovation is transforming what is possible. Technologies like organ-on-a-chip, cell-based assays, and advanced computer modeling are already proving to be more predictive of human responses while eliminating the need for animal suffering. These approaches don’t just reduce harm, they offer a more human-relevant path forward, with the potential to accelerate discovery, improve safety and bring effective treatments to people faster.
We are at a tipping point. Continuing to rely on outdated methods is no longer justifiable when more human-relevant approaches are within reach.
It’s time to move beyond animal testing and embrace a smarter, more humane future for science.
The New Gold Standard
The New Gold Standard is a new feature documentary that takes viewers inside leading research institutions around the world to explore a new approach to medical research. The film looks at how scientists are using human-based technologies to find new ways to discover and test medicines, and how these advances could change the future of healthcare.
We’ll be hosting a screening of The New Gold Standard in NYC this September! To stay up to date on tickets and event information, text IMPACT to 55101.
