Dear I! #U$S%

&fter I received your adress% I 'ish to inform a(out my 'hole adhesion as regard as the o()ectives promoted (y

Interniche International *rgani+ation% to 'hich I please you to consider me from no' on a constantly cola(orator.I also had for many time the idea of using ,and even realise- virtual eperiments ,'ithout to /no' a(out the

eistemce of this *rganisation-% for the follo'ing reasons0cognitive efficiency% compared 'ith the "in vivo" eperiments ,sometimes moreover in /no'ledge and more attrractive forthe students-avoid useless suferring from animalsmissing of animals and their highly pricefailure% sometimes in "alive" eperiments

Unfortunately% the department that I lead has no computers and the images 'hich 'e too/ from the Internet ,freeversions- are )ust a fe' and 'e have to as/ permanently approval from the departments that have computers in order to

present something to the students. 1e have neither the didactic !D2s% )ust the fe' short animation aspects that 'e succeedto copy.

In this situation% 'e sacrifice daily animals ,frogs and rats- (ecause the didactic event had to (e done.If 'e 'ould have computers and !D2s 'ith didactic themes% many of these "in vivo" eperiments could (e

reduced and replaced.I tell these (ecause the sylla(us of the Disciplines from our Department ,Physiology% 3iophysics% !ell 3iology%

Immunology-% is (ased on animal and sometimes even the human eperiments ,speed reaction% $MG% $$G% and so one-.

!onse4uently 'e ma/e an appeal to you and to Interniche *rganisation that you represent to help us if it ispossi(le% 'ith a technical support 'ho can raise the level of teaching% first of Physiology 'ho need very acute thesesupplies.

Moreover% there are situations in 'hich ours Physiology researches 'hen data o(tained in animal eperimentscan (e predictively used (y modelation and stimulation% replacing "in vivo" repetitions 'ho (ecome useless in this 'ay.The calculation and representation of such predicti(le situations can (e an alternative 'ay in some cases ,not so rarely-%'ho 'ould spare us from animals sacrification or% at most ma/ing "in vivo" eperiments only for chec/ing up someessential stages of the research chain.

&nticipated than/ you for your attention accorded% and 'e are at your disposal 'ith any information a(out us andour activity.
