Lemanic animal facility network (resal)

What is ResAL?

The ResAL (lemanic animal facilities network) is an organized network of the academic institutions of Vaud and Geneva (Polytechnical Federal School of Lausanne, University of Lausanne, University of Geneva, University Hospital of Vaud and University Hospital of Geneva). All those institutions conduct advanced biomedical research. Some scientific projects involving animal experimentation, those institutions signed a convention establishing the network, aiming at coordinate and optimize all activities related to animal experimentation, such as education, managment of animal facilities and communication. Common objective is to offer to the researchers optimal ressources in terms of quality, quantity and proximity
