The laboratory animal unit at the Atomic Energy Authority is a pillar for the development of medical research and the provision of reliable strains.
Details:
The laboratory animal production unit, affiliated to the Department of Biotechnology of the Syrian Atomic Energy Commission, continues its work as an essential resource to provide laboratory animals with reliable genetic and health specifications that meet the needs of biomedical research.
The unit relies on the production of genetically homogeneous animal breeds raised within isolated and controlled environments, while ensuring the accuracy of the experiments and the safety and reliability of their scientific results.
The unit contributes to achieving sustainability through supplies to local research centers and universities, which reduces dependence on foreign imports and supports the infrastructure for scientific research.
The unit works to secure traditional laboratory animals such as rabbits, in addition to providing special and advanced breeds such as genetically modified mice.
The unit is fully committed to international standards for animal welfare and ethical controls adopted in the fields of scientific research and medical development.
