Pioneering Advances in New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)
For over 35 years, we have pioneered innovation in biomedical research through the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Our commitment to animal welfare is deeply rooted in the 3Rs principles—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement—and guided by a profound sense of responsibility. Here at the CNPRC, through our commitment to continuous development and expansion of new alternative methods, we are helping build a future that improves health for humans and animals alike, and where more patients gain access to life-saving treatments—swiftly, safely, and with reduced reliance on animal use in research.
