The Mühlbock Award is the oldest
and most prestigious recognition that ICLAS confers. It is named after a
renowned scientist and one of the early fathers of ICLAS, Professor
O.F.E. Muhlbock of The Netherlands. The Award has been previously
conferred upon many distinguished scientists, including a Nobel
laureate, all of whom supported the value of using high quality,
genetically and microbiologically-defined laboratory animals in
research.
The Bennet Cohen Award was created
to recognize an individual that have acheived prominence in promoting
and advancing the "three Rs" of reduction, refinement and replacement in
the use of laboratory animals in research, teaching and testing, first
described in 1959 by Russell and Burch
The ICLAS Outstanding
Service Award is a recognition that ICLAS bestows upon individuals
who have made a truly outstanding contribution to ICLAS and its
programs. Since this award is intended to recognize truly seminal
contributions to ICLAS and its programs, the award will not necessarily
be made each year, but rather only when suitably meritorious candidates
are identified.
