Charles River is a worldwide contract research organization (CRO) offering 2-week electives in toxicologic anatomic and clinical pathology. With multiple facilities across the globe, Charles River provides essential products and services to help pharmaceutical, biotechnology, agrochemical and animal health companies, government agencies and leading academic institutions accelerate their research and drug development efforts. We employ > 150 board-certified veterinary pathologists (anatomic and clinical) experienced in general toxicologic and/or specialty pathology. Studies are conducted in a Good Laboratory Practices environment and range from acute through chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies utilizing various routes of administration.
Training includes necropsy, clinical and anatomic pathology review of multiple laboratory animal species in the context of nonclinical safety assessment. In addition to hands-on training with pathologists there is ample access to self study materials. Meetings with other departments and scientists (e.g. toxicologists/study directors, laboratory animal veterinarians, In-life, Surgery, Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology) will be arranged for the complete CRO experience.
Splitting the 2-week elective between our Spencerville, Ohio, Ashland, Ohio, and Mattawan, Michigan facilities is an option. Contact us for more information.
Normal working hours are 8-4:30, M-F.
