The University of Oxford

Introduction

The University of Oxford is one of the world’s leading centres for biomedical research. It has consistently been at the forefront of innovative and life-saving science. Oxford researchers today study pressing health problems like cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, muscular dystrophy, autism, depression, and very many more diseases that cause suffering and death.

Research using animals is a small part of the University’s overall program me of biomedical research. The majority of research is carried out using either in-vitro techniques or the study of human beings. However, there is overwhelming scientific consensus worldwide that some animal research is still essential for medical progress.

The University’s policy is to minimise the use of animals in research, consistent with the need to make significant advances on important problems of human health. Where animal research is necessary, the University will provide housing and care that exc eeds, wherever possible, legal requirements. The University will also continually pursue techniques that reduce the number of animals involved in research.

Oxford's Biomedical Sciences Building is a new facility in the science area of Oxford University to rehouse animals used in research. The building contains housing areas and rooms for research procedures. The animal care staff and the Veterinary Services team are based there. The building rehouses research animals that were housed in older buildings scattered through the University science area. These older facilities, which are closing, met all the strict Home Office regulations for animal care, but the University wished to exceed those regulations and set a gold standard for animal care.

The sections of this website (see links on left) cover information about research using animals, both in general terms and at Oxford, and the Biomedical Sciences Building.

介绍

牛津大学是世界上领先的生物医学研究中心。但它始终是站在最前列的创新和救生科学。牛津大学研究人员研究紧迫的健康问题的今天,如癌症、中风、心脏病、糖尿病、爱滋病、疟疾、肺结核、老年痴呆症、帕金森病、肌营养不良症,孤独症、抑郁症和很多更多的疾病导致痛苦和死亡。

研究使用动物的一小部分大学的总体方案的生物医学研究。大部分的研究进行了体外技术使用的是研究人类。然而,有压倒性的科学共识在一些动物研究还基本医疗的进步。

学校的政策是减少使用动物来做研究,符合需要有显著的进展对人体健康的重要问题。在动物的研究是必要的,大学将提供住房和关心技高一筹,只要有可能,法律要求。大学也将不断追求技术的动物数量减少了参与研究。

牛津大学的生物医学科学建设是一项新设备在科学上的面积rehouse牛津大学使用动物的研究。楼层内设居住地区和房间作为研究程序。动物保健工作人员和兽医服务团队是建立在那里。建筑rehouses研究动物老建筑被安置在散布在大学科技园的区域。这些老设备,关闭,符合所有规定严格的家庭办公室动物关怀,但希望超越大学设立一个金标准法规和动物保健。
