"If your goal is to understand disease and to improve
therapy, you're left with no option. We all work to
minimize the use of animals in our work, and we test as
humanely and effectively as possible, but it's really the
essential part of the work."
Dr. Robert Kass
Department Chair, Department of Pharmacology

tissue cultures
corneas from the eye banks
sophisticated computer
models
