Webinar Overview
The NIH has been on record stating “almost all human genes known to be associated with diseases have counterparts in the rat genome.” Because of their anatomical, genetic, and physiological similarities, they are desired by researchers looking for translational and reproducible studies.
This presentation will explore how the unique physiological characteristics of rats provide translational value across multiple therapeutic areas and best practices for husbandry that optimizes both welfare and experimental reproducibility.
By viewing, you’ll discover:
- Why the rat model may be preferred over mice
- Model selection and disease applications
- Preclinical case studies covering multiple research areas
