Animal Research Facility
MGMPRC is spread across a 31,000 sq. ft area state-of-the-art research facility with core toxicology, genetic toxicology, clinical chemistry, and pathology, Behavioural studies. The facility was designed and built from the ground–up in accordance with GLP & AAALAC specifications. Facility security is ensured with biometric access controls. This is well equipped, high-standard barrier facility having a Ground floor, First floor and Separate service elevators to provide sufficient space for the separation of activities and capable to conduct a number of parallel animal studies. It fulfills the requirements of the clean room concept and standards of the international and national regulatory agencies.
