Biomedical research = experimental medicine

Definition

It is mostly mixer of basic + applied + translational

research conducted to aid and support the body of

knowledge in the field of medicine.

What is BMR…..



In vitro

From the Latin meaning“in the glass”

Ex vivo

From the Latin meaning“out of the living”

In vivo

From the Latin meaning“

in the living”

Pre-clinical and clinical trials are examples

Various types of BMR



Organs and body systems similar to humans and other animals;

Susceptible to the same diseases that affect humans;

Short life span allows animals to be studied throughout their

entire life;

Environment easily controllable to keep experimental variables

to a minimum.

Why animals….



Mice are used more often

Rodents > 90%

Other animal species, including dogs, cats, rabbits, farm animals,

fish, frogs, birds, nonhuman primates, and many others, make

up the remaining 10% of animals used in research.

Which animals …..



Vaccines for Small Pox, Polio, andMeasles, Avian Flu and Ebola

Organ transplantation

open heart surgery,

Bone marrow transplants,

the wide-range of life-saving antibiotics,

Asthma, Diabetes, AIDS, and cancer

Safe consumer products

Value of BMR



Diverse career opportunities

High demand

Good pay

Flexible hours

Surgical animal models – training and research.

MD limited animal knowledge.

Why we need to think

about BMR……?



Varies as per type of disease and animal.

Challenging job

Worth to get research on right tract

Needs skills and training

Fast and reproducible

BMR, LAM

and Surgical models

Questions ??????



Experience

Externship

Lab animal vets may become dual boarded in pathology.Specialty Boards (not required/encouraged)

American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine(ACLAM)

Canadian Association of Laboratory Animal Medicine(CALAM)

Europe Association of laboratory animal medicine(ECLAM)

LAM ….



Attend conferences and training - LASA

Talk to vets practicing LAM

Visit NIH, NIRRH, ATREC, NIMHANS, your college professors

BMR projects in your vet or zoology or pharma schools

Visit the web

Do an externship!!!!!!

Career options…..



Client - pet owner vs. scientist – different issues.

Individual care vs. herd health – depends on study,

some rare & valuable strains/species.

Hours / Schedule – usually less weekend work!

Tools – ultrasounds, MRIs, endoscopy, varies widely.

No two days are alike!

What’s so special….



No two days are the same!

Multiple components to a clinician’s job

Veterinary Care

Average Day



Research is like golf… sometimes frustrating,but you’re never ready to give it up?





BMR is not difficult or deviation from surgery.

High market demand and job opportunities make

BMR as top most employer filed.

Vets are of high demand in BMR as it involves many

surgical techniques in animals.

BMR can be used as career to find job in India and

abroad.

BMR job can also help in easy access to License

clearance in foreign countries.

Take home message…



Research is exciting
