Animal Based Testing in Medical Research and Product Development
On July 17, 2008, Design Concepts was pleased to welcome Richard Lane, associate director of the Research Animal Resources Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Mr. Lane led a workshop on animal based testing in medical research and product development.
The workshop was an informative session geared toward professionals involved in medical projects who care about the ethical treatment of animals.
In support of Design Concepts’ continued commitment to ongoing education and emphasis on medial device development, Mr. Lane presented a brief overview of the current regulatory and ethical medical testing landscape relative to animal subjects.
The presentation covered:
1. The regulatory system that controls animal based research
2. The agencies that regulate
3. Questions that should be asked by those using animal based testing for research or product development
4. Q & A
The event was open to staff, clients and colleagues. For information on future Lunch & Learn events continue to visit www.design-concepts.com for updated information.
