To further human medicine through the ethical use of sheep as a model of human disorders including all manner of orthopedic, soft tissue, and metabolic conditions. We accomplish this by providing University, Private and Corporate researchers with a state of the art laboratory dedicated to professional service, research efficiency, and cutting edge technologies. Most of all, we pledge care and compassion to the sheep that help to advance the field of human medicine.
