The Unit for Clinical Trials (SEC) is in charge of the design, management and coordination of the field studies involving the use of experimental animals, both for studies of VISAVET or other public or private research centers o companies. Furthermore, SEC promotes animal welfare during the trials and ensure compliance with the experimental protocols to reach the objectives of the studies. Regarding the research activities, SEC is focused on the development of experimental models, including in vitro alternatives, for the evaluation of different biologics for Animal Health, mainly diagnosis reactives and vaccines. In this sense, SEC develop studies about natural transmission models of infection and indicators of efficacy and protection using different immunological techniques and novel systems for the evaluation of the pathogenicity and virulence of the microorganisms.
