Charles River Discovery Services will be exhibiting at this event. We offer evaluation of test agents in models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We also perform diet-induced obesity studies, where conventional animals (rats or mice) are fed high-fat diets to induce weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia and other obesity phenotypes. Our ability to combine standard physiological assays, histopathology, plasma biomarkers and imaging capabilities set Charles River apart as a premium provider for the assessment of agents intended to treat these metabolic disorders. Visit our booth to discuss how we can help you advance your research.

This intensive seminar is designed to provide an overview on the basics of LAL test technology with in-depth analysis on the types of test methodology available. In particular, this seminar will focus on problems sometimes encountered in endotoxin testing, including resolving interference issues. Speakers will be available to answer your endotoxin testing-related questions.

Charles River will be hosting the 6th European Short Course on Laboratory Animals in Brussels on February 8-10, 2012. The Short Course is designed to educate and update the biomedical research community on current trends and technological advances in the field of laboratory animal science. Some of the topics to be covered during the 2012 European Short Course are the 3Rs and regulatory changes.
