In this episode of the Animal Free Labcast, Carla and Dr Gemma Davies are joined by Dr Sam Aspinall from the University of Hertfordshire, who is developing a synthetic, animal-free alternative to gelatine – a material found everywhere from labs to healthcare to cosmetics.
We unpack why gelatine, though cheap and effective, is problematic both ethically and scientifically, and explore how polymer-based substitutes could offer the same benefits without animal suffering or experimental variability. The conversation also shines a light on the hidden scale of animal use in research – from live testing to animal-derived biomaterials – and why human-relevant methods are urgently needed.
Tune in to hear how Dr Aspinall’s work could transform research worldwide, making science more reliable while sparing countless animals.
Poll of the Week: Did you know that even though there are animal-free alternatives, gelatine and other meat industry by-products are still widely used in medical research?

Beschreibung

The Animal Free Labcast is hosted by the CEO of Animal Free Research UK, Carla Owen, and is a frank, lively exchange and sharing of ideas and experiences by leading scientists, policy makers and animal protection ambassadors - all of whom seek a kinder science.Carla and her guests cut through the noise to break down why we need to accelerate human relevant science if we are to end the medical emergency - that which is in large part caused by the continued reliance on animals as models for human disease research.Listen in to new episodes every two weeks, starting on June 29, 2022!
