Project description
 

Validation of promising in vitro results in an in vivo animal model is crucial in (bio-)medical research. In order to conduct this laboratory animal research, excellent care should be provided for laboratory animals. This care should at least include thoroughly cleaned cages: good hygiene will lead to a minimal risk of infection. This subsequently improves animal welfare and scientific results.
