The Department of Laboratory Animal Science, headed by Rabea Hinkel, is a joint professorship of the Hannover University of Veterinary Medicine and the German Primate Center. The department is an interface between the welfare of laboratory animals and translational biomedical research. The associated aspects such as
- animal welfare/standardized and optimal housing of animals
- medical care of the breeding and experimental animal groups
- veterinary support of internal and external experimental groups
- establishment of new models in biomedical research
are implemented, continuously updated and newly established in close cooperation with those responsible for animal husbandry and animal welfare in compliance with legal requirements.
