About the Comparative Research Center

Rush University Medical Center is committed to excellence in patient care, education and research. In its commitment to excellence in these areas, the institution acknowledges the need for continued use of animals in teaching, research and testing, and the undeniable link of animal research to the advancement of biological and medical knowledge. Information and experience that are gained through the use of animals has improved, and will continue to improve, the quality and length of human and animal life.
