Marquette's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)

The IACUC members are assigned by the University’s Institutional Official and consist of at least one scientist, one veterinarian, one non-scientist, and one non-affiliated member. As required, at least five members serve on the IACUC.
