Jean-Philippe Mocho (Edited By)
J-P graduated in France as a Doctor in Veterinary Medicine at the start of the century. He practiced as a large animal vet across the French countryside, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. In 2009, he joined the Royal Veterinary College to dedicate his career to laboratory animals as a Named Veterinary Surgeon, providing his services to London's major academia and research institutes. His approach based on his experience of population medicine led him to the new shores of aquatic facilities. He devoted himself to the development of better care for zebrafish, thanks to experimental data supporting the 3Rs and the publication of recommendations. The latter was helped by J-P's leadership in activities of the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations, such as organising international congresses, chairing scientific committees, and convening working groups on aquatics.
