The Thai Association for Laboratory Animal Science (TALAS) was found in 2001. Today the association is composed of Individuals or Institutions concerned with care and use of laboratory animals, including technicians, veterinarians, scientists, physicians, researchers, administrators, and many others interested in the proper care and use of animals in research, teaching, and testing. Committees are formed to manage specific areas of concern, such as education, membership, promotion, and meeting. There are currently about 300 TALAS members.
