Congratulations to Dr. Michael Czubryt, Principal Investigator, Molecular Pathophysiology Laboratory, and Professor, Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology, Max Rady College of Medicine, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba, on his appointment to the Board of Directors of the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC).
The CCAC oversees the development and implementation of guidelines for the ethical use of animals in research at institutions across Canada and conducts site visits to confirm compliance. Institutions receiving grant funding from the Tri-Council (CIHR, SSHRC and NSERC), as well as a number of other partner organizations (e.g. Heart & Stroke), are required to adhere to these guidelines as a condition of funding.
