The College believes that the use of animals in research is vital to improve human and animal health and
welfare. Animals may only be used in research programmes where their use is shown to be necessary for
developing new treatments and making medical advances. Imperial is committed to ensuring that, in cases
where this research is deemed essential, all animals in the College’s care are treated with full respect, and
that staff involved with this work show due consideration at every level.
