Introduction to Mice for Cancer Immunotherapy ResearchNovember 14, 2019, 1:00 PM USA Eastern Time Would you like to learn about using mouse models to develop novel cancer immunotherapies? During this webinar, we will provide an overview of mouse models and new humanized mouse platforms being used to improve the translational relevance of cancer immunotherapy research. |
Improving Translational Relevance of Preclinical Mouse Models for Alzheimer's DiseaseNovember 21, 2019, 1:00 PM USA Eastern Time Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complex genetic disorder, which further complicates developing and validating mouse models for preclinical research. In this presentation, we will review the limitations of traditional mouse models used in AD research that have not translated well in the clinic. We also will discuss the rationale for generating new models that more accurately represent the genetically diverse population of patients with AD, as well as best practices for efficacy testing of therapeutic candidates. |
