REVITALIZATION OF ORIGINAL FOCUS The primary purpose of the first cooperative agreement between the United States and Japan was to focus on laboratory animal quality and to exchange knowledge on technologies for identifying the presence or absence of pathogens of animals (primarily laboratory rodents) and methodologies to genetically define those animals.

FUTURE COOPERATION Our current cooperative agreement should continue to be a forum to identify major issues and concerns that deal with the expanding need and importance of defined laboratory animals for biomedical research, drug development, and testing and to work toward agreed-upon approaches to defining and monitoring those animals. The issues that come out of this cooperative program hopefully will stimulate other bodies to address the same topics in more detail than is possible for us in one day, once a year.

Laboratory animals are indispensable to basic research in nearly all facets of the biosciences. Laboratory animals are also required as living scales for drug development and safety testing of those drugs.
