Rodent/Laboratory Animal Testing

The Rodent Health Surveillance Program is a comprehensive animal diagnostic service has been in operation for over 20 years and is directed by Norman Altman, V.M.D. who is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists and a member of the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine. In addition to managing the rodent health program at the University of Miami, we serve as a reference lab for several academic institutions. We are committed to our offer of excellent rodent diagnostic and screening services at a reasonable cost.
