2026 3Rs Sharing Conference

Course overview

The 2026 3Rs Sharing Conference, our 10th 3Rs conference, will include a variety of content addressing issues related to the refinement, reduction, and replacement of animals in biomedical research. This year's conference will include a variety of 3Rs content with a focus on improving rigor and translatability in biomedical research through the robust incorporation of the 3Rs. We will explore opportunities for the robust incorporation of 3Rs in institutional research, as well as the use of machine learning and new technologies to advance rigor and translation of laboratory animal research. Presentations will address the use of current and emerging technologies to help guide future drug development strategy to advance next steps. In addition, the conference will discuss study design, animal methodology, and, as always, best practices to promote laboratory animal welfare for a variety of species.
