Core Lab: Preclinical Research
It is a space designed to support research, education, and development activities.
Our goal is to support researchers in the development of experimental models for safety and efficacy testing of drugs, food, medical devices, among many others, as well as the generation of knowledge.
Preclinical Research CoreLab has a Type C Animal Facility located at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Monterrey Campus.
