Animal Free Labcast #31 - Dr Nick Peake – British Science Week & Better Medicine
from The Animal Free Labcast · host Carla Owen
This week, Carla Owen and Dr Gemma Davies explore British Science Week and the push for animal-free research. They discuss last week's poll, where 96% of listeners rejected animal organ transplants, and highlight concerns over foetal calf serum (FCS) in labs. Special guest Dr Nick Peake, from Sheffield Hallam University, shares his pioneering work on replacing animal-derived materials with fully humanised models. These innovations, using human tissue from surgical waste, could revolutionise research and improve patient outcomes, paving the way for more ethical and effective research.🎙Poll of the Week: Should researchers be incentivised to replace animal-derived products like FCS?
