Animal research facility centre

Starting from the unicellular organisms, a variety of animal species contribute each year to medical breakthroughs that save millions of human lives each year. Through research on these animals, scientists have discovered cure and prevention for a number of human and animal ailments. However, with the humane approach to the treatment of lives of the animals and development of alternative techniques, the wastage of animal lives has been remarkably prevented.
