3ROCKIT is a center at KIT that focuses on replacing animal testing with digital and technological solutions in healthcare. It follows a 6R principle to reduce, replace, refine, ensure robust experimental designs, register experiments, and publish negative results. Using AI and digital technologies, researchers create Virtual Human Twins for personalized medicine, simulate active ingredients and therapies, develop in vitro methods, and use autonomous labs for research. The center contributes to the Baden-Württemberg 3R network, aiming to reduce the number of animals used in experiments. Other universities in the state are also involved in developing alternative experimental methods.
