Responsibly Breeding Genetically Modified Rodents

Presenter: Christopher Dowdy

Description: The principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) have guided preclinical research for decades,  and we can also embrace a foundational fourth “R” – Responsibility. Working with animals responsibly not only helps you develop therapeutics for patients, but also demonstrates your commitment to animal welfare.

In this webinar, we will discuss challenges of breeding complex genetically modified rodents and best practices for maintaining managing genetically engineered models while being mindful of the 3Rs plus responsibility. We look at ways you can reduce colony size and support the wellbeing of research animals by leveraging the data for your colony and using tools at key steps, like assisted reproduction through IVF.
