In December 2022, a monumental shift occurred in the field of drug development with the passage of the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, a law that signifies a bold step toward the future of medicine. While this legislation doesn’t ban animal testing outright, it marks a key turning point by allowing researchers to adopt innovative, non-animal methods that more closely replicate human biology. This opens the door to faster, more accurate, and humane drug discovery processes.
