Laboratory animal research

Laboratory animal research involves the use of animals in scientific studies to better understand biological processes and develop treatments for diseases. This type of research is crucial for testing the safety and effectiveness of new medications, vaccines, and medical procedures before they are used in humans. Researchers follow strict ethical guidelines to ensure the humane treatment of animals, minimizing pain and distress. While controversial, this research has led to significant medical advancements, contributing to breakthroughs in health and medicine that benefit both humans and animals alike.
