Our Animals in Research

Our commitment to uphold the highest standards of animal welfare

We strongly believe that good animal welfare equals good science, and our team upholds animal welfare standards in the highest regard. Our facility has been accredited by the International Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) since 2012, and adheres to local animal welfare guidelines and regulations*. All animal studies conducted at our facility are subject to approval from the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).
