"High quality research can only be achieved with maximum
animal well-being and human well-being."
ABOUT
Dr. med. vet. Fabienne Ferrara (M. mel.)
I am convinced that animal experiments in life science cannot be completely replaced. Using animals for research is challenging and my ethical guiding principle is all animals are treated with respect and dignity. I strongly believe that high-quality research can only be achieved with fully committed high standards for animal welfare and satisfied employees.
You as clients can rely on me to find together a practicable way to combine both. Based on trust and transparency, I would like to inspire future customers with my work.
Qualifications
Veterinarian for Laboratory Animal Science
Due on various professional stations at universities, research institutions and researching companies, I have experienced the subject matter and the area of conflict between animal experiments and research from different angles and perspectives.
Master of Medicine, Ethics and Law
Through my Master's degree in Medical Ethics Law (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg), I have acquired legal knowledge, can better examine ethical fields of tension and provide assistance in concrete conflict situations. The discourse with people from different professional fields is always part of my personal development.
Scientific Work
Due to my own scientific activities as a veterinary specialist for laboratory animal science with a doctorate, I have a broad interdisciplinary expertise in the field of basic and applied research. I combine the experience from my many years of animal experimentation in interdisciplinary research projects with the knowledge in laboratory animal science and the perspective from my work as an animal welfare officer.

My service arrangements are diverse and are adapted to the special needs of my clients. These can range from advice to active support in conception and implementation. This can also be the assumption of tasks of an external animal welfare officer.
I also offer a wide range of training and coaching opportunities (analogue and virtual). Interactive training courses on laboratory animal science topics or intensive seminars (webinars) and workshops on communication, animal well-being and human well-being can be individually designed and implemented.
All services are provided in house or virtually. In English or German respectively.
