Laboratory animals are an important part of life sciences and medical researches, as well an important support for the science and technology innovation in our country. Laboratory animal science is of great significance to the protection of human health,food safety and biological safety. Laboratory animals are indispensable in the development of food safety,drugs,vaccines and biological products and the studies of human disease pathogenesis. In order to adapt to the requirements for overall development of the laboratory animal industry in China, our institute has independently developed the Network Training System for Laboratory Animal Managers.
