Learning Outcomes
This part of the training is based on traditional research animals, i.e. mammals.
Laboratory Animal Science (LAS) covers knowledge on how different factors influence animal experiments. There are many such factors that contributes to background noise and bias research results, such as the environment and factor by the animals themselves. It is important to identify and control such factors.
In LAS 202 the student will achieve knowledge on the biology of the most commonly used (mammal) research animals and how environmental factors influence these.
LAS 202 also focus on anesthesia and the use of pain killers and planning and design of animal experiments.
Finally ethics and use of alternatives (3R) is an important topic.
