On the cusp of the future, FUTURE SCIENCE follows scientists as they strive to transform biomedical research by replacing animal testing with groundbreaking technologies such as AI, multi-organ chips, and 3D bioprinting.
Is biomedical research at a turning point? Innovative technologies such as multi-organ chips, AI, 3D bioprinting and computer-aided models have the potential to replace animal testing while providing more accurate and faster results for humans. However, despite these promising developments, many animals are still used in research. Are animal studies really essential to medical progress?
FUTURE SCIENCE follows leading scientists researching replacement methods and sheds impressive light on the potential of these animal-free technologies. What prevents the breakthrough of such methods and what interests between science and industry stand in the way of a paradigm shift?
The film critically questions the current status and necessity of animal testing. What impact does the use of animal models have on medical progress and the development of new therapies? At the same time, it presents a vision of a future in which scientific knowledge is based on solid and ethically justifiable foundations, without animals having to suffer.
