Technology Showcases and Research Trainings

The Physicians Committee collaborates with academic and industry leaders to host in-person training events and technology showcases that highlight animal-free methods for biomedical research and regulatory testing. These events take place at conferences and on-site at different laboratory facilities. Learn more about our past events and contact msinger [at] pcrm.org if you are interested in working with us to host an event at your facility.

ERA21 Travel Award Winners Series

Through its ERA21 program, the Physicians Committee provides travel awards to support researchers using human-based nonanimal methods to present their work at conferences. This webinar series provides a platform for travel award winners to showcase their animal-free conference presentations from meetings like the World Congress on Alternatives and Animal Use in the Life Sciences, the Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting, and the Microphysiological Systems World Summit. Learn more about our travel award opportunities and view the recordings of these webinars.

ERA21 Journal Club

The ERA21 Journal Club meets at conferences and provides a forum for early-career scientists and undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students to meet and discuss relevant research articles on human-relevant biomedical research, toxicology, and policy.
