The Department of Comparative Medicine at Stanford Medicine is now offering a MS in Laboratory Animal Science.
In conjunction with celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the Department of Comparative Medicine will begin accepting applicants for its new master’s program in laboratory animal science this fall. Those accepted into either the master’s or coterminal program can start the program as early as winter quarter.
Co-directed by associate professor of comparative medicine Corinna Darian-Smith and professor of comparative medicine Sherril Green, who is also the department’s chair, the program will focus on translational research using animal models of human and animal diseases. The coterm is one of the first master’s degrees to be offered by the Stanford Medical School and is the department’s first degree-granting program.
“There aren’t very many [master’s programs] across the nation that are at a medical school and based at an academic department where we have very many veterinary and non-veterinary faculty studying animal models,” Green said. “That’s a very unique fit.”
The department first developed a strategic plan to build coursework to support the program five years ago. According to Green, the department also took this time to “cultivate relationships with Stanford students.”
