Replacement of Animals in Research (RoAR) - Neurological Disease Modelling

[UCL Internal Event Only]

The UCL 3Rs Committee is organising the second edition of the Replacement of Animals in Research (RoAR) Workshop. The goal of this initiative is to disseminate research throughout UCL focused on in vitro/in silico (animal-free) disease models, in alignment with the 3Rs principle, at an event where both leading experts and early-career researchers can present their findings and engage in relevant discussions. This edition will focus on models of neurological disorders. Agenda of speakers is available at the bottom of this event page - titles of talks will be announced soon.

This Workshop will be held on the 5th May 2026 and open to the entire UCL community.

Students and researchers at any career stage are encouraged to submit an abstract for poster presentations until 27th April 2026. Abstracts (max. 300 words, PDF format) should be submitted by email to Prof. Eirini Velliou ([email protected]) and Anabela Moreira ([email protected]) with the subject line “RoAR Workshop Abstract – [Name of Author]”.

Prizes for the best posters will be Amazon vouchers.
