About the lecture
In this first mini-lecture, we are introduced to the concept of animal research by first discussing the current state of it in the UK (as of 2022). We lay out the current legislation that regulates animal research, before looking at some of the animal species which are controlled under this legislation. Then, we look at the proportion of these animals used for scientific procedures, and trends of the use of these animals for research in the past 50 years.
