Our mission is to create a focused and sustained effort that advances the benefits of animal-based research and emerging alternatives to support and improve human and animal health.

​

The IOC was formed to:

​

• Assess the impact and consequences of animal rights activism.

• Support and synchronize programs that ensure the continued and ethical use of animals in pharmaceutical and biotechnical research.

• Advance public understanding about the benefits and necessity of animal-based and emerging alternatives-based biomedical research to support and improve human and animal health.
