  I don’t in my research. There are lots of people working on ways to reduce the number of animals that are used for testing though, and to find better non-animal testing methods. Unfortunately they’re the best method we have at the moment.

  No. I don’t use animals in my research. Unfortunately, animal testing is a part of drug trials. But the positive is that if the drug is successful it can be used to treat diseases in animals too.
