Animal Welfare

Welcome to the Animal Welfare knowledge hub, your go-to resource for all things related to the welfare of animals utilized in preclinical research.

Animal Welfare is critical to drug development, as in vivo studies are required by authorities to gain approval for new therapeutics. At Scientist.com we have worked with our industry partners to define research pathways and organizational requirements so that we can enhance drug discovery R&D. Our helpful guided forms and Research Concierge team will assist you during every phase of your project, while our seamless workflows allow you to purchase with confidence. Faster Science is at the core of what we do, for both our clients and our suppliers.

In 2020, we released an expansion to COMPLi that addressed the industry's first pre-assessment program, VERIF.i for Animal Welfare. This groundbreaking program is designed to increase confidence when sourcing in vivo studies externally as well as drive high standards within the industry. VERIF.i is an in-person pre-assessment of suppliers that allows you to get the core information about a site prior to study initiation. We have designed VERIF.i to get you the details about supplier policies and procedures so you can make an informed decision prior to a major investment of time and money.
