Management of Animal Care and Use Programs in Research, Education, and Testing

2017 | Science & Mathematics

Biomedical research using animals requires administrators and managers who are knowledgeable and highly skilled. They must adapt to the complexity of rapidly-changing technologies, balance research goals with a thorough understanding of regulatory requirements and guidelines, and know how to work with a multi-generational, multi-cultural workforce. The Management of Animal Care and Use Programs in Research, Teaching and Testing 2nd edition text is the extensively expanded and revised edition of the popular Management of Laboratory Animal Care and Use Programs book published earlier this century. Following in the footsteps of the first edition, this revision will serve as a first line management resource, provide for strong advocacy for advancing quality animal welfare and science worldwide, and continue as a valuable seminal reference for those engaged in all types of programs involving animal care and use. It has more than double the chapters of the original volume to present a more comprehensive overview of the current breadth and depth of the field with applicability to an international audience.

Readers will be provided with the latest information and resource and reference material from authors who are noted experts in their field.
