Rutgers shares with the public at large a concern for the ethical use of animals in research and is firmly committed to discovery that will lead to the treatment and cure of disease and physical injury. Only once it is determined that alternative methods such as cell culture and computer models cannot effectively be used, a conscious decision is made to use laboratory animals in research as it is that both animals and humans are the ultimate beneficiaries. Comparative Medicine Resources works closely with the IACUCS to provide the highest quality animal care and veterinary oversight of our research animals in support of this commitment to humane animal research.
Seven animal facilities in Newark primarily house rats and mice in ventilated cages in specific pathogen-free environments with free access to food and water with special attention to assuring that all research and animal care staff understand the unique needs of the animals and are compliant with policies for safe and humane animal care. We provide information and training on all aspects of our animal care and use program including both didactic and hands-on training that can be tailored to an individual’s or laboratory’s needs.
