The latest in our series of videos highlighting the winners of the 2022 World Veterinary Association Global Welfare Awards, sponsored by our client, Ceva Animal Health, takes us to Copenhagen, Denmark and the work of a remarkable individual who has changed the welfare of laboratory animals for the better.
Professor Axel Kornerup Hansen has been deeply engaged in veterinary care of laboratory animals since 1987. In his work in on the change of laboratory animal housing and how laboratory animals are handled today.
In 1997 he became a professor in laboratory animal science and welfare at the University of Copenhagen School of Veterinary Medicine. In addition to improving the organisation of the veterinary use of research animals, he built up a major teaching system, which today is probably the largest of its kind in the world.
