Our Opinion

Genocea Biosciences, Inc. is on the Cruelty Free Investing list for exploiting animals because the company does animal testing for some of their medical analysis and clinical research.

Supporting Evidence:

The company stated in the following document that they conduct pre-clinical trials of their drugs on animals.

“ATLAS is fast, too.  Genocea took four programs in three diseases from project initiation to animal proof-of-concept, and two vaccines into the clinic, all in seven years. This compares favorably against the traditional 10-to-12-year pace of discovery in the vaccine space” (Page 2) Read the full document.
