Medical research involves research in a wide range of fields, such as biology, chemistry, pharmacology and toxicology with the goal of developing new medicines or medical procedures or improving the application of those already available. It can be viewed as encompassing preclinical research(for example, in cellular systems and animal models) and clinical research(for example, clinical trials).  2, record 1, English, - medical%20research

La façon d'évaluer la toxicité a pu évoluer au fil des années grâce au développement conjoint des connaissances en sciences de la vie et des progrès technologiques. Elle a permis de passer d'une toxicologie descriptive réalisée uniquement chez l'animal à une toxicologie mécanistique.  2, record 2, French, - toxicologie%20descriptive

Alternative methods. In order to reduce the need of laboratory animals the CFN has, in co-operation with the Swedish pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca and Pharmacia, supported research on alternatives to animal models ever since 1980. It has supported projects in areas such as toxicology, pharmacology and cell biology. Basically, two different kinds of projects have been considered for financial support, i. e. projects which may be expected to result in a change from a method involving animals to an alternative method in a short time and projects relating to fundamental research that is likely to contribute to the development of new non-animal methods in the longer term.  2, record 4, English, - alternative%20method
