Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University (Einstein) adheres to all applicable federal, state, local and institutional laws, standards, and guidelines designed to ensure humane use of animals in research, testing, and teaching. Such laws, standards, and guidelines include but are not limited to:

Because, many of the standards and guidelines are broad in scope, there is leeway to refine and adapt them for implementation for each program. Einstein’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) develops policies on animal research that implement the guidelines specifically for programmatic needs at this institution.  Also, below please see Einstein policies/guidelines regarding animal research.
