Biography

Dr José Manuel Sánchez Morgado is a European veterinary specialist in Laboratory Animal Medicine with a research focus on microbiology and genetics in laboratory animals. He has co-authored around 15 scientific articles in the field of laboratory animal medicine and microbiology, and published, as editor and author, the first book on reproducibility of animal research of a five-volume monograph on laboratory animal science and medicine. Since 2003, he teaches theoretical and practical courses on animal welfare, infectious diseases, and genetics in the field of laboratory animal science for scientists and animal technicians. He had managed a mini pig breeding herd homozygous for SLA (Swine Lymphocyte Antigen) and a Large White pig breeding herd for experimental purposes. He has run an ECLAM Laboratory Animal Medicine residency program, set up the ESLAV’s Summer School and Winter School programmes to train veterinarians in laboratory animal medicine, and the ESLAV’s webinar series as continuous professional development. He is also part of the Irish National Committee for the Protection of Animals Used for Scientific Purposes.

Biography

Dr. Mette Herskin is a Senior Research Scientist at Aarhus University, and has been organizing since 2009 PhD- and master- courses on animal stress and pain, including in animal experimentation. Her research links ethology, veterinary science and biomedicine and focuses on the welfare of farm animals when kept under conditions, where welfare may be challenged, including cases when these species – especially the pig – are used as animal models.
