Moving Toward Nonanimal Approaches in Medical Research and Testing

Moving Toward Nonanimal Approaches in Medical Research and Testing is a single-source guide to nonanimal research tools and methods and their applications in place of animals. It is directed primarily to researchers in biomedicine, human medical therapeutics, and toxicology. This first edition was published by Academic Press in 2026 as a 370-page paperback.

The book is presented in three parts. The first covers the historical, ethical, legislative, and scientific context for the shift away from animal-based research and testing. The second covers advances in nonanimal tools and methods, including microphysiological systems, bioprinting, biobanks, and artificial intelligence. The third addresses the practical shift, from advocacy for legal, regulatory, and policy change to securing funding and overcoming bias against nonanimal methods.
