Each project using animals should be accepted by the competent authorities.

Before being submitted to the authorities, each project must have been discussed with the scientists responsible for the platform to ensure feasibility. Acceptability of the animal health status will be studied at that time.

how to request an access to the facility?

The PIPPA facility is within the BATLab which access is regulated by HUG policies. Furthermore the facility itself is a restricted area due to radiation safety.

To access you will need a HUG badge, and an authorisation provided by the radiation safety officer (Didier Colin).

HUG has requested that we limit the number of authorisations. Therefore, we aim at providing one access per research group, preferably to a PI or to a permanent staff.
