Canadian Center for Alternatives to Animal Methods (CCAAM), University of Windsor. CCAAM and the Canadian Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (CaCVAM) aim to develop, validate, and promote non-animal, human biology-based platforms in biomedical research, education, and chemical safety testing.

Canadian Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (CaCVAM), University of Windsor. The overarching goal of CaCVAM is to work in partnership with Canadian regulators—primarily Health Canada—to expedite the development, validation, and regulatory acceptance of new approach methodologies (alternatives to animal testing) to modernize toxicity testing in Canada.
