General support is provided by a dedicated logistics team and two office managers. An information manager is responsible for various laboratory animal related IT systems and its output towards end users. Three veterinarians supervise the health and welfare of the laboratory animals. They also support the researchers by contributing to the responsible design and implementation of animal experiments and by proposing possible alternatives.
