To optimize sharing of organs/tissues from animals humanely sacrificed for (scientific or research) projects approved by the Ministry of Health, by considering that functional - but not only functional - experiments often require using fresh tissues, the 3R Centre is establishing a pilot project involving the University of Genoa and the University of Pisa and their OPBA, enabling sharing fresh tissues through platforms on territorial basis (that might be connected on platform networks) allowing the researcher to use at best valuable biological resource. Implementation of the project would allow establishing protocols for organ/tissue sharing including fresh preparations, therefore meeting more requests than the frozen/fixed tissues. The project by allowing strict collaboration and exchange between researchers would complement the Ministry of Health platform for tissue sharing and would contribute to step forward on the effective reduction of animal use for experimental purpose.
