Comparative Medicine

Our AAALAC accredited, leading-edge facilities and highly experienced staff support investigators at every phase of translation, from discovery through efficacy and safety studies. Our facility offers  24/7 veterinary care for all species, and includes daily observations and animal maintenance, excellent pre- and post-operative care from highly trained staff, and state-of-the-art animal housing facilities equipped with procedure rooms, surgical suites, recovery space, and clinical veterinarians to support all procedural needs.
