Charles River Laboratories
In 1947, a young veterinarian Dr. Henry Foster purchased thousands of rat cages from a Virginia farm and set up a one-man laboratory in Boston, overlooking the Charles River. In an effort to fulfill the regional need for laboratory animal models, he bred, fed and cared for the animals and personally delivered them to local researchers. Today, Charles River looks like a very different company, but in realizing Dr. Foster’s vision committed to collaboration, responsibility and leadership within the global research community.
For more than 70 years, Charles River has seen technologies advance and new diseases emerge. One-man laboratory has evolved into a worldwide support network, allowing to act as a steadfast partner to our sponsors, from discovery to lot release testing.
