Animal facility for pre-clinical research
The Large-Animal Research Facility, a shared core of the CoMIT, supports translational research in regenerative medicine and biomedical engineering.
The unit offers surgical suites maintained to high cleanliness standards and onsite imaging analysis within a tightly controlled environment.
All large-animal studies are conducted in full accordance with the Infectious Diseases Control Act, the Act on Domestic Animal Infectious Diseases Control, the Cartagena Protocol‒related legislation, and other pertinent regulations.
Stringent measuressuch as effluent sterilization, advanced air-handling systems, and escape-prevention infrastructureensure regulatory compliance and the highest standards of biosafety.
