📋 Tender Overview
The Laboratory Experimental Animals Unit in the Arabian Gulf University AGU recently organised a training course on the ethics and techniques of dealing with laboratory animals. In the course a number of AGU academics delivered several lectures to the 19 participating workers and researchers in the field of applied medical research experiments on laboratory animals.The course aimed at qualifying researchers in all aspects of experimental research based on experimental animals. It consisted of several training sessions including a training session that addressed the basic professional skills to carry out animal tests. The session was presented by Technical Supervisor at the Laboratory Experimental Animals Unit Mr. Ammar Marwani. Physiology Professor at the College of Medicine and Medical Science Dr. Amer Al Ansari delivered a training session for the participants on a study tackling the effects and behavioural changes on experimental animals through their interaction with different compounds. On his part Laboratory Experimental Animals Unit Dr. Khaled Gerish supervised a training session on the methods of preparing tumours and injecting them into laboratory animals to measure the effects of their interaction with experimental drugs for the treatment of cancer diseases. As for Assistant Professor in the Life Sciences Department in the College of Graduate Studies Dr. Noureddine Ben Khalaf he presented a session on AGUs experiments in the field of engineering laboratory animal genes that are developed to measure the effectiveness of treatment of many incurable diseases.On the occasion AGU Vice President Dr. Khalid Tabbara pointed out that AGU has established the unit with the aim of qualifying students and researchers in the region to learn the basic skills to conduct experimental research on animals and enable researchers to conduct basic medical research adding that the university seeks strengthening its leading role in supporting research developments and innovating new treatments to address medical predicaments. Dr. Tabbara also announced that the AGU will organise the course once again throughout the academic year to serve researchers who are interested in conducting laboratory research in the Arabian Gulf region. He confirmed that this course will be held in successive periods during the year and it is open to all interested in scientific research based on laboratory animals.
