About the workshop

This was the second run of the workshop in 2019, held at UPM’s Institute of Bioscience and at COMeT. Lectures covered the forms of the institutional animal care and use committee (IACUC), nutrition, statistics, rodent anatomy, ethics, pain management and humane end points, including a Prima Nexus session on molecular work after an animal study. Hands-on sessions followed on handling mice and rats and taking blood samples.
