Project Overview & Procedure
Welcome to the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Medical Cluster, the future of the global medical industry!
Purpose of Establishment
- To provide support for laboratory animal research, including the assessment of the performance and biosafety of medical equipment in the development phase and the efficacy of new drug candidates
- To provide support for the development of advanced medical devices and new drugs in the medical innovation complex through the careful maintenance and management of laboratory animals and the development and use of a variety of animal disease models
- To collect, store, and provide the animal bioresources necessary for the development of advanced medical products
- To provide a core infrastructure for national animal research to support new drug candidates and the evaluation of medical device efficacy in the development stage.
