As head of the Laboratory Animal Core Facility, I support research and teaching on human diseases using laboratory animals. I focus on ensuring animal welfare and following best practices, including the 3Rs (replace, reduce, refine). My goal is to provide top-quality services, advice, and support for research using mice and rats, helping both university staff and external partners. I work to create a strong foundation for high-quality services and effective and ethical use of animals in biomedical studies.
