"High-quality research can only be achieved with maximum animal welfare
and human well-being are achieved."

ABOUT
dr medical vet. Fabienne Ferrara (M.mel.)
I am convinced that in the life sciences in particular, it will not be possible to completely dispense with animal testing. My top guiding principle is that all animals are treated with respect and dignity. High-quality research can only be achieved with maximum animal protection and animal welfare and satisfied employees.
My customers can trust that I will find a practicable way together with you to combine both. On the basis of trust and transparency, I would like to inspire you with my work.
qualifications
Specialist veterinarian for laboratory animal science
Through the various professional positions at universities, research institutes and researching companies, I have experienced the topic and the tension between animal experiments and research from different angles and perspectives.
Master of Medicine, Ethics and Law
Through the master's degreeMedicine Ethics Law(Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg) I can apply legal knowledge to ethical areas of conflict, illuminate them and provide assistance in concrete conflict situations. The discourse with people from different professional fields is always part of personal development.
Scientific work
Through my scientific work as a veterinarian specializing in laboratory animal science, I have interdisciplinary expertise in the field of basic research and applied research. I combine the experience from my many years of animal experiment work in interdisciplinary research projects with the knowledge of laboratory animal science and the perspective from my work as an animal welfare officer.
