Popper Miroslav DVM, Ph.D.

Head of Animal Facility

I have more than ten years of work experience with laboratory animals: mice, rats, and piglets.

I am responsible for: 1. veterinary care, 2. teaching of animal models, 3. animal resource management, 4. technical study support, 5. experimental surgery, and 6. the development and refinement of animal models.

As a member of the Animal Care and Use Committee of Palacký University, I have to oversee the specific use of animals in the experiments.

The main aim of the animal team is to provide scientifically accurate, robust, and reproducible data from in vivo experiments. We used to follow up-to-date trends in laboratory animal husbandry, care, housing and welfare, and new approaches to the development and work with sophisticated and complex animal models. An experienced technical team performs procedures emphasizing refinement, welfare, and good animal practice.

I carry out the supervision of keeping high standards daily.
