What's the Latest News on HSRB-II Opening?
The research that goes on inside the School of Medicine’s walls changes lives. One of the biggest projects ever for the Emory campus, the new state-of-the-art Health Sciences Research Building (Phase 2), also known as HSRB-II, will have a real and lasting impact in the world of medical research. Catch up on the latest updates about the opening of HSRB-II now.
Research animals are heroes.
"Typically, animal studies are essential for research that seeks to understand complex questions of disease progression, genetics, lifetime risk or other biological mechanisms of a whole living system that would be unethical, morally unacceptable or technically unfeasible or too difficult to perform in human subjects. The most common laboratory animal in biomedical research are purpose bred rats and transgenic mice. In fact, approximately 95% of all warm-blooded laboratory animals are rodents. The contributions made by these animals and other species help researchers answer questions of biological uncertainty and are necessary and critical to the advancement of both human and animal health." - National Association of Biomedical Research
Safety FIRST!
For DAR, safety is a core value and we are continually monitoring safety and health policies at all of our facilities and requiring everyone understand the importance of workplace safety. By enforcing standard safety policies and procedures across the board, DAR seeks to guarantee safe work practices and minimize any risks of injury and illness within our facilities.
