More than a thousand institutions, including pharmaceutical companies, universities and biotech firms in 50 countries, have been accredited by AAALAC International. Several research sites belonging to Interpharma member companies have also been certified by AAALAC International. Interpharma has had a seat in the delegation of member organisations since 2013 and a seat on the Board of Directors since 2020. It is thus able to directly influence the promotion of independent animal welfare certification programmes. To ensure that research with animals and animal care are monitored and conducted in accordance with tried and tested procedures, AAALAC International has more than 360 ad hoc consultants who accompany committee members during on-site visits and make recommendations. These consultants \u2013 some of whom work for Interpharma member companies \u2013 can offer expertise that extends beyond conventional laboratory animal species and can in some cases provide additional expertise in fields such as applied neuroscience, behavioural science, toxicology, pharmacology and physiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project name: AAALAC International<br>Charter articles: 2, 7<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AAALAC International AAALAC (Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care) International is an independent, non-profit organisation that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary evaluation and accreditation programmes.
