Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To conduct high-quality, reproducible animal experiments, it is necessary to have animal research facilities managed with specialized expertise under environmental conditions that meet internationally recognized standards. Furthermore, appropriate care and use of laboratory animals in accordance with the 3Rs principle, as well as the ethical conduct of animal experiments, are crucial for carrying out animal research at our university appropriately. Our laboratory staff ensure the proper operation and management of the animal research facility, while our faculty members conduct their own research and educational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
