Dear all,
Registration is now open for the 3R-seminar "Microbes in humans and laboratory animals", arranged by the Animal Welfare Body of Oulu Laboratory Animal Centre, together with the Health and Biosciences Doctoral Programme, University of Oulu Graduate School.
The seminar takes place on Tuesday, 12 December 2023, at 8:30 - 15:00 (Finnish time, EET). The seminar will also be shared through a video link.
The seminar is directed primarily to researchers using laboratory animals in experiments, the scientific fields therefore including basic biomedical research and preclinical medical research. Microbe-host interactions in both human disease and laboratory animal research will be discussed, as well as the effects of microbiome on the translatability of preclinical research results. The seminar topic is therefore of interest also to medical researchers who do not use laboratory animals themselves.
The event can be considered part of the statutory maintenance of the professional competence for people working with laboratory animals.
