The Pennsylvania Society for Biomedical Research (PSBR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit science education organization formed in 1990 to foster a better understanding of the benefits of biomedical research to human and animal health, as well as the necessity for the humane treatment of animals in such research. Programs: Teacher workshops, student workshops, classroom visits, The Great Grow Along classroom project, student essay and poster contests, interactive webinars, student award sponsorship, free educational materials, and more! The goal of the PSBR is to educate the public, including students and teachers in grades K-16, about biomedical research and the vital role the responsible use of animals plays in improving the quality of both human and animal health. Our role is to inform, educate, champion, advocate, and communicate to those who can have an impact on or be impacted by biomedical research- which is just about everyone! Mission: To promote a better public understanding of the value of biomedical research including the vital role the responsible use of animals plays in improving the quality of human and animal health. As part of the scientific community, we are committed to advancing knowledge that is critical to the development of safe and effective medical therapies needed by individuals and animals. The humane use of animals in research is essential in this effort, at least for the foreseeable future.
