The ARC with the Department of Surgery, is home to The University of Chicago Laboratory Animal Medicine Training Program, a 3-year ACLAM recognized residency program intended for veterinarians who want to pursue a career in the laboratory animal medicine. As part of the ARC training program, clinical veterinarians also train veterinary technicians, and students through a variety of externship experiences. The ARC has a robust rodent research program which includes ASBL2 and ABSL3 containment facilities. Our facilities are designed and constructed to exclude adventitious infectious agents from areas where defined health status animals are housed. Highly trained staff support these facilities, including a Special Services Technician Program composed of a group of elite animal care technicians who offer technical research support to investigators outside of routine animal care. Investigator research comprises a diverse spectrum of biomedical research including immunology, oncology, infectious disease, behavior, and diabetes. The ARC’s large animal program includes non-human primates, pigs, dogs, opossums, and a variety of other USDA covered species. The large animal program has up to date imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound and strives to use the most recent advances in multimodal anesthesia and analgesia for diagnostic and research use. Veterinarians are an integral part of the ongoing surgical research, which involves neurological implants and cardiovascular work. The ARC also includes one of the leading germ-free and gnotobiotic programs in the country, the Gnotobiotic Research Animal Facility (GRAF). The GRAF is a highly specialized unit that houses germ free (free of all non-self- organisms such as bacteria, virus, and parasites) mice and mice that have been selectively associated with specific organisms.
