#Training: Basic lab skills are key to high quality, reproducible research. Our Practical Laboratory Skills course covers a range of basic skills, including use of standard equipment, such as centrifuges and fume hoods Join us on 14th January: www.har.mrc.ac.uk/training/cou...

We welcome the government’s effort to provide a clear roadmap for the phasing out of the use of animals in research, while maintaining scientific rigour and safety standards.

In a new article in Disease Models & Mechanisms, the COST Action TEATIME welfare group makes the argument for increased use of automated welfare and phenotypic analysis in animal research, while discussing the significant challenges that need to be overcome: www.har.mrc.ac.uk/news/advocat...

We are #hiring an Animal #Technician to provide high quality husbandry and ensure the health and welfare of experimental mice, while maintaining meticulous record-keeping of all animal-related work. Apply by 16th November: mrc.tal.net/vx/appcentre...

Validate with Confidence Join our 1-day workshop on Genome Engineering & Long Read Sequencing and gain hands-on skills to design, sequence, and troubleshoot engineered alleles with precision www.har.mrc.ac.uk/training/cou...

In a new publication in Disease Models & Mechanisms, the @cost-teatime.bsky.social Welfare group advocate for automation in animal research to advance welfare, reproducibility and scientific openness.
