Humane animal care is something the entire University takes very seriously and a responsibility shared by our research community. As such, anyone working with animals at BU must complete trainings and other facility-specific requirements to ensure animals are well cared for at all times. This section will give you the information necessary to work safely and responsibly with animals, from proper care and humane treatment to environmental enrichment and safety.
