You will need a facility for cell culture. The equipment will include a biosafety cabinet for sterile culture work, a CO2 incubator for growing cells, an inverted microscope for examining cells, and a liquid nitrogen tank for storing cells in a frozen state.
You will also need a facility for housing experimental animals, usually mice. Such facilities must be operated under strict regulations, which your university will explain and enforce.
You will probably also need other laboratory equipment for doing such things as Western blots and immunohistochemistry.
If you need to measure the pharmacokinetics of a drug in animals, you will require very expensive and sophisticated equipment for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Many of the facilities described above, and others I haven't mentioned, may already be present at your university.
