Designing and building a modern vivarium in the Scientific and Technological Centre of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry for biomedical study

N Investment project title Designing and building a modern vivarium in the Scientific and Technological Centre of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry for biomedical study
1. Sector

Biomedicine, veterinary

2. Project description

Currently in Armenia there is urgent need in laboratory linear animals for biomedical studies. Nevertheless, the breeding of linear experimental animals still remain a problem in the Republic. Moreover, there are no suitable buildings and conditions to conduct fundamental and practical biomedical research. The absence of these conditions causes serious obstacles for the implementation of modern biomedical research, also for receiving foreign grants and collaborations. Thus, it has become urgent to construct a modern vivarium. Considering that STCOPC possesses distinct facility for animal breeding and care and has long-term experience in biomedical research, we find it reasonable to build an experimental biological clinic (vivarium) on its basis. Services of this clinic will be available for all organizations of RA.
