Humanimal Trust base their research in medicine around the ethos that both parties (animals, which most medical research is tested upon and humans, whom primarily use the tested medicines) should benefit from medical and pharmaceutical breakthroughs. This ethos works in both directions... in the past, animals have never benefitted from a medicine that has been designed with humans in mind; Humanimal Trust work to try and diminish some of the boundaries preventing some animals from receiving the best treatment. As well as this, in the opposite direction they work to push treatments that have shown phenomenal success in the Veterinary Medicine profession, into the world of Human Medicine and onto the market for public use.

 In particular, the muscoskeletal area of medicine is seeing incredible breakthroughs in Veterinary Medicine with the introduction and success of 'PerFiTS', otherwise known as Percutaneous Fixation to skeleton, used in Limb Amputation Prosthesis - a way of allowing a prosthetic limb to be biologically incorporated into the physical structure of the remaining limb... i.e. the bone can grow over the prosthetic core to allow the whole limb to function as it would if the amputation had not of happened. These prosthetic limbs are those seen on the popular TV show 'SuperVet'. Humanimal Trust is also supported by Noel Fitzpatrick who is at the forefront of a situation whereby with help from HT, a medical advance can benefit both humans and animals.
