Dr Hawden Trust

Animal Free Research UK, formerly known as the Dr Hadwen Trust, is the United Kingdom's leading medical research charity dedicated to replacing animals in biomedical research. Founded in 1970, the organization provides grants to scientists developing human-relevant research methods that do not involve animal testing. Their funded projects utilize cutting-edge technologies such as organ-on-a-chip, advanced computer modeling, and human stem cell research to study a variety of human diseases. By championing these innovative techniques, the charity aims to improve the accuracy of medical research and accelerate the development of effective treatments for conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The organization also engages in advocacy and education to promote the transition toward a completely animal-free research environment.
