Research Support Offering both facilities and technical support to aide animal experimentation Animal experimentation is essential to life sciences research. Depending on research needs, various animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, beagles, and pigs are used. In recent years, genetically modified animals such as transgenic and knockout mice have gained attention as useful subjects. In order to gain reliable data from animal experiments, it is vital that the subjects' environment be stable and well-controlled. In addition, the safety impact to humans and bioethical rules must be considered when conducting animal experiments. In the Division of Animal Experimentation within the Life Sciences Research Center, we provide both the facilities necessary for such experiments as well as comprehensive support in the form of experiment program planning and subject care and maintenance. 2006.4.1
