Research
Saves Most cures have happened as a direct result of medical research that uses animals to simulate human conditions. Animal research saves lives. It’s how cures happen. Albert's Story - A public service announcement promoting how animal research helps animals, too! Emma's Story - features a young Labrador Retriever named Emma that received groundbreaking surgery to cure her of lameness and shows how animal research saves animals too. Buttercup's Survivor Tale - "Survivor Tales" is a television series highlighting the impact of translational research on both human and animal health. This first program features ACL surgery -- first perfected on humans -- now benefitting animals. Jen's Story - A heart-warming story about a scientist, breast cancer and her fight to find a cure through animal research. Gail's Story - A woman tells a touching story about the cancer research that she does with the help of animal models, continuing the work that both she and her husband, who died of cancer, care deeply about.

Foundation for Biomedical Research
Established in 1981, the Foundation for Biomedical Research (FBR) is the
nation's oldest and largest organization dedicated to improving human and
veterinary health by promoting public understanding and support for humane
and responsible animal research. FBR is the leading voice of scientific
reason and medical progress in the ongoing, sometimes violent debate that
surrounds animal research.

Full Curriculum (Download entire curriculum here) Research leading to almost every Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded since 1901 was dependent on data from animal models. This fact dramatically demonstrates the important contribution animal models in biomedical research make to both international and American medical progress. In fact, since 1979, every Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded was dependent on data from animal models with the exception of the 1983 Prize awarded to Dr. Barbara McClintock for her work in plant genetics For a list of winners check out this site
