Laboratory Animal Research encourages submissions of innovative methods and techniques that improve and expand the use of model organisms in the lab, and research that deepens our basic understanding of model organisms and the opportunities/challenges for modelling human health and disease.
In addition, Laboratory Animal Research aims to provide expert opinions on a range of topics through reviews and perspectives, as well as important news in industry, policy and regulatory matters impacting basic and preclinical research.
Laboratory Animal Research is the official journal of The Korean Association for Laboratory Animal Science (KALAS).
