Pre-clinical studies in animals, carried out in compliance with the jurisdiction in force, is a fundamental step in advancing in the understanding of human pathologies and/or in developing effective treatments.
For the performance of pre-clinical studies, the HUG NeuroCentre helps to draft the documents necessary for animal experimentation authorization requests. It connects investigators with research platforms such as the central animal facility of the University Medical Center or the small animal imaging platform.
The NeuroCentre also helps with the submission of requests on the Animex platform and the drafting of annual reports to the cantonal veterinary authorities.
