Progressive Non-Animal Research Society (PNARS)

The Progressive Non-Animal Research Society (PNARS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the transition from animal-based medical research to human-relevant, non-animal methods (NAMs). The organization promotes the use of sophisticated technologies such as organs-on-chips, organoids, human-derived cell cultures, and advanced computer modeling to improve the accuracy and ethics of drug development and chemical safety testing. PNARS actively engages in advocacy, reporting on the environmental impacts of animal experimentation, and monitoring regulatory progress in countries like Canada and the UK. They serve as a resource for information on scientific breakthroughs that replace animal use, aiming to influence policy and scientific practice toward more humane and effective research standards.
