Prof. Dr. Chadi Touma (Behavioural Biology)

The use of animals for scientific purposes is often the subject of controversial and emotional debate in society. Unfortunately, a lack of knowledge about the background and contexts in the field of laboratory animal science often hinders the discussion and makes constructive dialogue difficult. The aim of this presentation is to present the relevant specialist information and the framework conditions and necessities for the use of animals in research in order to facilitate a critical discourse and a substantive discussion of alternative methods. Using examples from Osnabrück biology, insights into the use of laboratory animals in biomedical research will be given and an ethical consideration of their use will be included.
