Independent contract research through combined knowledge and facilities
Thanks to its collection of unique knowledge on infectious conditions and the ability to use its own laboratories and conduct research in its own animal facilities, the Central Veterinary Institute has become a leading independent contract research organisation (CRO) meeting the highest international standards. The research can be carried out under GLP conditions.
