We Care For Our Animals As If Human Lives Depend On It
The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (UNTHSC) is committed to the judicious, humane use of animals in research and education. UNTHSC’s Department of Laboratory Animal Medicine (DLAM) provides professional and technical services for laboratory animal care, veterinary medical services, and animal research project support for faculty, students, and employees of UNTHSC and external partners.

The Department of Laboratory Animal Medicine Staff is trained in the care and use of laboratory animals and can be an important role in your research. Our facility requires that all DLAM staff working with animals become AALAS (American Association for Laboratory Science) certified. This ensures that our staff is skilled and knowledgeable in the many aspects of the laboratory animal science environment.
