AmplifyBio's Commitment to
Animal Welfare and Research

At AmplifyBio we value the animals in our care as true research partners, treating them with compassion, respect, and gratitude at all times. We stay up to date on some of the technologies that will reduce and at times, replace in vivo methods and are committed to bringing those methods on as they are established. Notably, our recent expansion of in vitro characterization bioanalytics capabilities refines what we know about drug safety and function in real-time, often reducing the number of animal models needed.
