CRACK IT Challenge 49: Rodent shelter

The British NC3Rs champions innovation in the 3Rs through CRACK IT Challenge competitions. The programme provides an opportunity for industries, SMEs and academia to collaborate on tackling specific challenges.

In CRACK IT Challenge 49: Rodent shelter, AstraZeneca Gothenburg and University of Gothenburg pitched the idea of an easy-to-use shelter for rodents to provide warmth and a means to monitor the animals to improve post-operative care. They found a collaborator in Malsen Medical, and they are now working on the project together.

The webinar is intended for individuals who work with, or are interested in learning more about, rodents as research animals. This includes researchers, animal technicians, members of Animal Welfare Bodies, and veterinarians. It is also relevant for those interested in the NC3Rs CRACK IT Challenges competitions.
