Human diseases are complex. Understanding and treating them requires research methods that reflect human biology as closely as possible.

🔬 That's why we fund innovative, animal-free research designed to improve human health while replacing the use of animals in medical science 💙

26/08/2026

📈 Primates used in British labs rose by 15% in 2025.

No animal should suffer in the name of science when better alternatives are within reach.

Behind every statistic is a living animal. That's why we're committed to funding cutting-edge research that uses human-relevant methods instead of animals.

We believe a future beyond animal testing is possible.

What if the future of medical research didn’t rely on animals? 🧡

In 2024, 170,880 animals were used in basic nervous system research in Great Britain.

Our new Humane Neuroscience Fund will support pioneering research exploring the connection between the gut microbiome and neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, without the use of animals.

Help us create a future where better research means helping people and saving animals.

Progress in science means giving researchers the tools to deliver better, more human-relevant outcomes 🌍🔬

Dr Judith Madden from Liverpool John Moores University said:

“For me, animal-free research is not only about the ethics and social responsibility of caring for animals. It is also about giving scientists the tools, harnessing the latest developments in science, to conduct truly, human-relevant research. This brings real benefits to animals, humans and society as a whole.”

150 years ago, the UK introduced its first law regulating animal experiments.

At the time, researchers had few alternatives.

Today, scientists can use human tissues, organoids, organs-on-chips and advanced computational models to study disease and develop new treatments.

If modern technologies can provide us with insights into that are more relevant to human health, should we focus on regulating animal experiments, or replacing them?

At The Humane Research Trust, we're funding innovative research that helps bring us closer to a future where no animals are used to research human disease.

What if a single protein could help cancers grow and hide from the immune system?

The latest research from THRT-funded researchers shows that the protein testican-1 (SPOCK1) works closely with enzymes that reshape the tumour environment, potentially supporting cancer progression and immune evasion.

This makes SPOCK1 an exciting candidate for future therapeutic strategies.

This research was carried out by Dr Abdolrahman Shams Nateri and his team at the University of Nottingham and was featured on the front cover of The Journal of Pathology.
