Function

The Laboratory Animal Resource (LAR) Program is responsible for the supply, use, and husbandry of laboratory animals utilized by the various research programs at Fox Chase Cancer Center. In addition, the Program staff provide consultation and direction on appropriate techniques, strains or animal models to use in research protocols. The LAR has been in existence since 1948 and is organized into three interrelated facilities.

• Genetic Monitoring Facility
• Laboratory Animal Health Facility
• Laboratory Animal Husbandry Facility

The Program adheres to the highest standards of laboratory animal care and is accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International and the facilities are designated as research facilities by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
