Animal research plays an essential role in our understanding of health and disease and in the development of modern medicines and surgical techniques. Without the use of animals, we would not have many of the modern medicines, antibiotics, vaccines and surgical techniques that we take for granted in both human and veterinary medicine.
Detailed information on animal research, including Home Office licensing, 3Rs - Replacement, Reduction, Refinement and training is available on the University Biomedical Services website.
