I’m excited to reach out to you as the newly appointed PhD student representative for the 3Rs-Hub Advisory Group at Imperial College London. As you may know, the 3Rs-Hub is dedicated to promoting the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in animal research, and our mission is to create a collaborative environment where researchers like you can engage in discussions, share ideas, and work together to advance more ethical and efficient practices in animal research.
Whether your PhD involves animal work, or you are exploring alternative models and systems that can help reduce or replace animal testing, the 3Rs-Hub is a fantastic group for you to get involved in. We are building a community of like-minded students who are passionate about driving change, and we’d love for you to be part of this initiative.
Throughout the year, we will be hosting a range of informative events and networking opportunities aimed at fostering collaboration and furthering the application of the 3Rs principles in research. These events are not only an excellent chance to learn from experts but also a great way to socialize and connect with fellow researchers in the field.
If you are interested in joining the 3Rs-Hub community and contributing to this important work, please contact me at mm720@ic.ac.uk . We look forward to hearing from you and hope you’ll consider being part of this exciting initiative!
Thank you for your time, and I hope to see you at our upcoming events.
Best regards,
Michael Manolakakis
