Biomedical Research Center
The Biomedical Research Center focuses on the use of animal models for new and advanced areas of technology. The center collaborates in its research efforts with university investigators and with major biomedical and pharmaceutical firms that are developing and evaluating new products and technology for human health care. The research will lead to the commercialization of drugs that contribute to the quality of life for middle-aged and geriatric people. Appropriate new animal models are developed and standardized in the area of drug evaluation. Good Laboratory Practices are strictly adhered to in conducting all research.
