Non-animal models have significant potential benefits: they reflect human-specific diseases, could reduce drug development time and costs, decrease drug failure rates in clinical trials and result in more effective and cheaper treatments for patients. Prof Carl Kirkpatrick Professor of Pharmacy at Monash University gave a fascinating talk on quantitative pharmacology and its application in model informed drug development and discovery.   Laura Thomas outlined CSIRO’s recent **[report](https://mexec.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3e94996fe37d6d435e2193f17&id=ddf8c3c38f&e=ee30bd2a14)** on this subject. Ella Robinson from Australian Ethical Investment gave some great insights into the ethics around investing into companies with an ethical lens.
