Two top academic institutions have joined forces to pioneer a new drug 
develop method which could lead to fewer experiments on animals, it was disclosed 
today.

Scientists from Cambridge University and the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology (MIT) will focus on the complex interactions between genes and proteins 
that drive physiological systems.

The new approach relies on a combination of tissue engineering and 
computational analysis. In future, it could mean that fewer experiments have to be 
carried out on animals.
