LARC is unconventional animal facility with SPF rodent vivarium, small animal imaging core, diagnostic, cellculture and research labs. As a founder and director of LARC, I always envision it as a unique research platform to provide excellent research animal models as well as advanced infrastructure for researchers. A place that provides and supports quality in vivo research to promote animal and human health. A platform that helps to narrow the boundaries between different disciplines, supports multidisciplinary research and allowing advances and innovation in basic, biological, biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. In the year 2015, LARC started providing services and support to the academics and research community. Since then it continues to provide humane animal care, animal research, consultation, training and support for faculty, researchers and graduate students at the country level. We are committed to minimize the use of animals when there is no alternative to study in-vivo research hypothesis. Animals in the facility closely monitored with humane care by licensed personnel. LARC is a member of the American Association for Laboratory Animal science (AALAS) and nternational Council for Laboratory Animal Science(ICLAS).

I invite you to visit our website and learn more about LARC.

Thank you,

Dr. Hamda Al-Naemi,
