Benjamin Ineichen's Team wins the Swiss 3R price! Congratulations!
Every year, the Swiss 3R Competence Centre (3RCC) presents awards to researchers for outstanding contributions to the promotion of the 3R principle - the replacement, reduction and refinement of animal experiments.
The CHF 4,000 "3Rs Award" goes to the team of L&M member Benjamin Ineichen and his STRIDE Lab at the Center for Reproducible Science at UZH. The group aims to improve transparency and reproducibility in animal research and contribute to more evidence-based animal testing by systematically reviewing existing studies. Its approach helps to limit unnecessary animal experiments and to replace, reduce and improve the use of animals in scientific studies.
The creation of a comprehensive database for neuroscience, the improvement of drug development processes and the support of systematic reviews are among the laboratory's most important initiatives. Recently, Benjamin Ineichen published a study that systematically analysed how well results from animal experiments can be used in biomedicine.
