LASA is dedicated to promoting the advancement of laboratory animal science. The Association has members with many different specialities and interests but there are four Sections within the Association which collectively span the breadth of the science.

The Sections are not mutually exclusive and many events will span several discplines within our sector; Section Convenors are currently working together to formulate a programme providing at least three events between January and August as well as a comprehensive programme for the major LASA 3-day Meeting in November.

The Alternatives Section is now part of the 3Rs Section which will share knowledge on and promote all aspects of this vast subject; it will continue to provide a forum within which members can discuss strategies and techniques, available or proposed, for the replacement reduction and refinement of animal use in scientific studies. It will provide a vehicle for members to share ideas and practices and to promote the uptake of the 3Rs within and beyond LASA.
