Culture of Care activities

One Interpharma member company has initiated a presentation series for animal care staff and interested employees in the context of its “Culture of Care” activities. These presentations given by research scientists in layman’s terms enable a better understanding of the animal studies performed in the company. The better understanding why the studies are being performed lead to a better awareness of the animals’ phenotypes and better animal care.

Project name: Culture of Care Presentation Series

One interpharma member company has established a formal “Culture of Care” committee at one of its in vivo sites in order to foster a supportive environment for both laboratory animals and the in vivo associate community. The team has developed a survey, presented findings at leadership meetings and conferences, and collaborated with behavioral science experts to guide programming. Their work has expanded from local efforts to a more global outreach, with plans for broader implementation and alignment with other in vivo sites.
