Xenopus Welfare Organisation
The Xenopus Model Welfare Organization will make the use of xenopus as a model organism better by promoting model specific, species specific knowledge and making that knowledge readily available to all stakeholders, including researchers, animal care supervisors, veterinarians, IACUC’s, and government oversight entities. It will influence the care, well-being, and welfare of xenopus as a model for years to come. It will be a compassionate entity that supports the care of xenopus frogs in research institutions and supports the people using xenopus by promoting science based, practical knowledge that can be used by all.
