Content:
Opinion leaders in science and politics examine findings and legislation in alternatives to animal testing!. Refine, reduce, replace - These are the three demands that scientists have placed upon themselves in their search for alternatives to animal testing. Indeed much interdisciplinary research is being carried on today, and new fields have emerged, such as in-vitro toxicology. The three R's call for new scientific insights. Moreover, validation and acceptance strategies have to be adapted, a process of much ongoing interest and vital concern to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Re.

Papers from a symposium held at the ETH, Zurich on Nov. 30, 1992, and updated to include developments through fall 1993.
