Navigating Triple Constraints with Genetically Engineered Models – Savings for Researchers and Institutions

June 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm CDT
Virtual Event

About this Webinar:

This webinar explores how researchers and institutions can strategically navigate the triple constraints of cost, time, and quality by leveraging optimized approaches to generating, characterizing, preserving, and delivering your genetically engineered models. Key focus areas include quarantine strategies, cryopreservation, and breeding of complex models, with actionable solutions that align with the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement).
