Laboratory Animal Science Association Annual Conference
21/11/2023 - 23/11/2023
In 1963, the Laboratory Animal Science Association was founded by a consortium of university, industrial, ministry and research council representatives.
Today, LASA is the UK society for scientists and laboratory animal professionals with an interest in animal research, NC3Rs, care and welfare, education, training and ethics, and policy and regulation.
This year, it celebrates its 60th anniversary with a special conference to be held in a new venue in Cambridge between 21st and 23rd November.
The conference will feature a special programme of scientific lectures and posters and will comprise a table-top exhibition providing excellent networking and social opportunities.
We would like to invite all members and non-members to register early for the meeting; it is important to promote a good representation from our broad community including animal technologists, scientists, veterinarians, regulators and industry.
We are looking forward to seeing you in November!

Instructions for paper-abstract submissions
Write the title in capital letters. The text must be to a maximum of 400 words (including title, author/s and address), single spaced, point size 10, and can contain one table or figure only. References should be written as surname, initials, year (in brackets), journal name in full, volume, and pages. The whole abstract must be written within the box frame. The authors of the poster should be quoted by initial/s, name & address.
In order that the abstracts and poster session attract interest from the widest range of scientific delegates attending the conference, the panel of judges may request clarification or minor editorial redrafting, prior to publication within the Conference handbook.
Poster size and file formats accepted. Poster size is standard A0 (841 x 1189 mm). Portrait is preferred to landscape profile. In order that successfully submitted posters can be published in the LASA Forum or posted on the LASA website after the event, the following electronic format is advised:
- PDF (Adobe Portable Document Format) file. This is the preferred file format, especially if the poster file was created under other computer platforms apart from Windows. Please also make sure that the size of the poster is set to the correct required size.
- Microsoft Word. Please embed all picture files, figures and graphs in the documents. This is to prevent any images missing when printing. Also use high quality pixel pictures and figures etc. if possible so that the images, when printed out, do not become blurred. You can view the actual size of the poster and check all the images under Print Preview option.
- Microsoft PowerPoint. Please embed all picture files, figures and graphs in the documents. This is to prevent any images missing when printing. Also use high quality pixel pictures and figures etc. if possible so that the images, when printed out, do not become blurred.
