Looking ahead, we will review
the clinical research landscape and work with legislators to craft legislation for the 112th Congress that addresses the specific needs of the research community.
Like the Helsinki Declaration, which forever altered the ethical
landscape of human
clinical research, the aim of the Basel Declaration is to bring the scientific community together to further advance the implementation of ethical principles such as the 3Rs whenever animals are being used and to call for more trust, transparency and communication on the sensitive topic of animals in
research.
