Welcome to the Central Animal Research Facility (CARF) at RAKMHSU, a preclinical research powerhouse that combines decades of expertise, cutting-edge infrastructure, and advanced software platforms to generate high-impact, reproducible translational data.

CARF is distinguished by its unmatched proficiency in developing rodent models for a comprehensive spectrum of human diseases, encompassing oncology, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular and neurological conditions, infectious diseases, immunological dysfunctions, ophthalmologic disorders, inflammatory and pain models, and rare syndromes. Our experience spans complex experimental design, in vivo validation of therapeutics, surgical innovation, behavioral and physiological monitoring, and mechanistic studies, making CARF a regional leader in preclinical research

Our state-of-the-art infrastructure, including non-invasive cardiovascular monitoring, working heart apparatus, automated behavioral tracking systems, and BSL-2 compliant infectious disease labs, is supported by a highly skilled technical and veterinary team, ensuring ethical, safe, and precise execution of all studies.

At CARF, we are committed to scientific rigor, innovation, and ethical excellence. We actively collaborate with academic institutions, industry partners, and governmental organizations, providing flexible models for contract-based or collaborative research, with full access to our expertise, proprietary methodologies, and advanced research platforms.

I invite researchers and partners worldwide to leverage CARF’s unique capabilities, experience, and technical mastery to accelerate preclinical discovery, translational innovation, and therapeutic development, setting new standards in experimental biomedical research.
