industries and faculties across the university as well as with renowned research institutions in Mexico and Singapore. College of Veterinary Medicine, Comparative Medicine Program (). The Comparative – Medicine Program (CMP) is the centrally administered support service for animal research and teaching programs at A&M University, College Station. The program's facilities and services are available for all Texas A&M campus affiliated faculty, staff, and students who have been approved to conduct animal research by the (IACUC). CMP is accredited by the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC) through its affiliation with other AAALAC-accredited Texas A&M programs. CMP facilities offer housing and care for most standard laboratory animals. Specialized housing can be provided for biohazard projects and hazardous chemical projects. Varying degrees of animal isolation are available. Housing for large animal species is limited; however, various other campus animal care facilities can provide housing for large animals. CMP also offers a to institutional personnel. () - The A&M Institute for Preclinical Studies (TIPS) provides large animal Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and translational research studies with unique access to expertise in all major medical and scientific disciplines including surgery, biomedical engineering, advanced imaging, pathology, radiography, interventional cardiology, neurology, animal behavior, chemistry, and engineering. With unique resources and collaboration with the A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, TIPS facilitates the inclusion of animals with naturally occurring disease as viable research models. TIPS provides unique opportunities to develop new therapeutics in the fields of oncology, cardiology, immunology, endocrinology, and an array of genetic disorders common to humans and companion animals. The TIPS 112,000 square-foot facility is an exceptional setting for GLP or studies and physcian training utilizing large animals and includes: Animal Housing - 240 individual large animal housing, plus additional long-term housing with barn and pasture support GLP compliant clinical pathology laboratory Three 600 square-foot surgical suites, plus a hybrid imaging suite Conference rooms Sponsor work 150 person auditorium for meetings/training Advanced imaging facilities including an MRI/Interventional suite equipped with a 3T MRI and fluoroscopy, 128 slice PET/CT Sponsor workrooms are designed for privacy and equipped with full length polyvision wifi, large split screen panel monitors for viewing from the surgical suite's headcam, light cam, room cam, and digital monitoring equipment.
