10 June 2023 - National Day of the Laboratory Animal

What do Parkinson's disease and mice have to do with each other? Why is the testing of new fish ladders, which will help fish to pass dams and waterworks, an animal experiment in Switzerland? To what extent do our pets benefit from the development of medicines for humans? How have animals helped in the development of vaccines against COVID-19 and cervical cancer? Why can it be unethical not to do an animal experiment? We answered all these questions at the first Swiss National Day of the Laboratory Animal on June 10th, 2023.

We had stands at:

  • Basel (Schifflände, Amazonestatue)
  • Zurich (Bahnhofstrasse, Pestalozzianlage)
  • Fribourg (near the train station)

The three associations Swiss Society of Veterinarians in Research and Industry (SAVIR), the Swiss Society for Laboratory Animal Science (SGV) and Research for Life (FfL) are happy to take your questions!
