Many benefits for both humans and animals are derived from the ethical, humane use of laboratory animals for biomedical and behavioral research. The Lab Animal Resource Facility helps make these benefits possible by:

•    Promoting humane care of animals used in biomedical and behavioral research, teaching, and testing.
•    Providing resources, technical assistance, and information to researchers to ensure a high level of
     scientific validity.
•    Ensuring compliance with federal regulations. 
•    Maintaining high ethical standards.    

The Lab Animal Resource Facility provides animal housing services including changes and maintenance of cages and feeding animals. The Lab Animal Resource Facility also has resources such as a tattooing machine and a microchipping system for investigator use.
