Quick History
Created in March 7th , 2013, the SBMAlt comes to:
* disseminate scientific information and knowledge,
* promote research, development and innovation
* focused on in vitro and in silico methods,
* science and educational approach.
* disseminate 3Rs concept

Events
Animal research is a widespread method in science and education
The concept of animal in the twenty-first century no longercorresponds to the history of science in the past.
Today it is known that animals sounds beings endowed withconsciousness and complex psychological and cognitive point ofview.
Ethical reflection are fundamental to consider new ways of doingresearch in a more humane way.
View
We know that just like the animal, alternative methods havelimitations of various natures. So it takes a constant improvement.
We emphasize the importance of validation of alternative methodsthrough internationally accepted procedures.
In this case, for example, cooperation between ECVAM andBraCVAM is critical.
National authorities must accept alternative methods and adaptthe laws to these concepts related to the 3Rs.
View
We need to increase the discussions of these concepts into thegraduate and post-graduate courses, in order to have an effective"Science Education" where every new scientist will have this culturein his DNA.
There is a social, scientific, regulatory and ethics demands thatmust be considered in order to develop a high technologicaladvances and also more humanized.
SBMAlt comes encourage and contribute to the development ofalternative methods in Brazil, through training and updating ofprofessionals and serving as an interface between theseprofessionals and industries, academia, government and relatedentities.
