Thanks @CambSciCarnival for the opportunity today to tell families about biomedical research. #CambridgeScienceCarnival #CSC2026 #CSC26
The @LaskerFDN announced its 2026 award recipients, recognizing groundbreaking work that has expanded our understanding of human health and advanced treatments for serious diseases.
Behind two of this year’s award-winning breakthroughs was research involving dogs, mice, rats, rabbits and nonhuman primates.

🔬 During Blood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re highlighting how biomedical research has helped advance new treatments for blood cancers.
CAR T-cell therapy is one example. CARVYKTI, an FDA-approved treatment for multiple myeloma, uses a CAR designed with llama-derived antibodies to help T cells recognize and attack cancer cells.
Researchers are continuing to explore new ways to apply this approach to other blood cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma.

Where do nonhuman primates fit into translational research today?
Join Bioculture and the European Animal Research Association (@The_EARA) for a webinar on Xtalks exploring the evolving role of nonhuman primates as a critical translational research model, alongside emerging research methods and the 3Rs.

Blood cancer research has led to remarkable advances that are helping more people live longer, healthier lives. During Blood Cancer Awareness Month, FBR recognizes the decades of biomedical research that have expanded our understanding of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Research involving animals has also contributed to innovative therapies in unexpected ways: llama-derived antibody fragments are part of CARVYKTI, a CAR T-cell therapy approved to treat multiple myeloma. By combining animal models with complementary research methods, scientists continue to develop innovative therapies that offer new hope to patients.
From vaccines to treatments for neurodegenerative disease, research with nonhuman primates has helped advance some of medicine’s most important breakthroughs.
A new position statement from APV and EPV highlights why primates remain valuable to biomedical research and the importance of responsible research with these animals.

The brain is the body's most complex organ, and understanding it requires many scientific approaches. On World Brain Day, FBR recognizes the research that has expanded understanding of the brain and helped advance treatments for neurological diseases. Scientists rely on a variety of research methods (including animal models such as mice, zebrafish and long-tailed macaques, alongside complementary approaches like cell cultures, organoids, computer models and advanced imaging) because each provides unique insights into brain function, disease and potential therapies. Together, these approaches have helped scientists better understand the brain and advance treatments that improve lives for people with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke and epilepsy.
Medical breakthroughs don't come from a single method.
From animal research to cell-based technologies and computer models, researchers use many complementary approaches to understand diseases and develop new treatments.

On World Sickle Cell Day, we recognize that animal research has expanded understanding of this inherited blood disorder and helped drive the development of new treatments and potential cures. Animal models, especially genetically engineered mice, have helped scientists understand sickle cell disease and develop new treatments. Additional studies in nonhuman primates have supported the advancement of promising gene therapy approaches. #AnimalResearchSavesLives
Did you know? Woodchucks played an important role in hepatitis research.
Because woodchuck hepatitis virus closely resembles human hepatitis B, researchers were able to study liver disease progression, improve vaccine development and advance treatments that benefit patients today.
National Hepatitis Testing Day is a reminder that research, prevention and testing save lives.

New from FBR: Our latest op-ed in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel highlights how research with dogs has helped advance medicines and treatments that improve and save lives for both people and animals.
Our op-ed also underscores the importance of keeping protests legal and non-violent.

From vaccines to chronic disease treatments, animal research at Oregon’s ONPRC has helped enable lifesaving medical advances. Learn more at SaveScienceOregon.org #SaveScience
During World Immunization Week, we recognize the science behind lifesaving vaccines.
Vaccines don't happen overnight. They are developed through a combination of scientific methods including laboratory research, computer modeling and studies with animal models to better understand how the immune system responds and to help ensure safety before human trials begin.
