Model Organisms in Biomedical Research
Loading...
Uploaded by UniversityLeicester on Sep 5, 2011
Research to understand the working of the human body and to develop new medicines frequently involves the use of other species in preliminary experiments. For both ethical and economic reasons, scientists are committed -- as far as is possible -- to refining, reducing and replacing the use of higher animals in research. Using lower species, for example fruit flies and even yeast, as model organisms is an important part of that commitment.
This film is part of a collection of resources on the use of model organisms in medical research produced by Dr Chris Willmott and Professor Andrew Fry of the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Leicester.
