Centre for Comparative Medicine Research

The Centre for Comparative Medicine Research (CCMR) is an AAALAC International accredited service centre of the Faculty of Medicine. The Centre was first established as a Laboratory Animal Unit in 1979, but subsequently changed its name to CCMR in 2020. The primary function of the CCMR is the breeding of specific pathogen free laboratory animals for research and teaching, mainly for the Faculty of Medicine, although animals are also supplied to other University departments and units. Centralized animal holding and surgical facilities for biomedical research are also provided. The Centre also advises on matters relating to laboratory animal science and provides veterinary service to all departments and units of the University.
