BETHESDA, Md. - TelAve -- New bipartisan legislation—the Companion Animal Protection Against Cruel Testing (COMPACT) Act, introduced September 21, 2026, as H.R. 10522—was the focus of a September 23 press conference at the U.S. Capitol. The bill seeks to modernize federally funded biomedical research while strengthening protections for companion animals.

Dr. Zaher Nahle, Founder and CEO of Ivyctory Solutions, joined Representatives Nick Langworthy (R-NY) and Mark Pocan (D-WI), alongside national leaders including Wayne Pacelle of Animal Wellness Action, to deliver remarks on biomedical research modernization and federal research policy.

Speaking at the Capitol's House Triangle and summarizing the significance of the COMPACT Act, Dr. Nahle identified four priorities: protecting companion animals, preserving research that benefits their own health, improving accountability for taxpayer-funded research, and advancing American biomedical science toward better evidentiary standards—standards that are rigorous, innovative, and, above all, relevant to human health and physiology.

Dr. Nahle's participation, at the invitation of Congressman Langworthy's office, reflects the value placed on independent scientific analysis and underscores Ivyctory Solutions' growing role in providing substantive, evidence-based insights at the intersection of biomedical innovation, regulatory modernization, and public policy.

Dr. Nahle, who also serves as Senior Scientific Advisor to the Center for a Humane Economy, emphasized the need to modernize biomedical research, strengthen accountability for federal research investments, and evaluate scientific practices against measurable outcomes.

Drawing on findings from the Government Accountability Office, Dr. Nahle also raised concerns about the ability of federal agencies to accurately measure animal research expenditures and evaluate research performance. "What we cannot reliably measure, we cannot properly assess. And what we cannot assess, we cannot systematically improve," he told attendees.

Reflecting on the broader implications, Dr. Nahle emphasized the compatibility of scientific advancement and animal protection. "We do not have to choose between advancing human health or animal welfare. They can—and should—go hand in hand," he said.
