Join us for a day of learning at The Inn at Longwood Medical in Boston for this RACE approved seminar (4.5 hours) as we hear from some of the brightest minds researching and serving in-vivo science and technology.
The N of 3 Seminar Series is a circuit of educational seminars with industry leading experts presenting to laboratory animal professionals and researchers. These one-day events will cover topics related to rodent breeding, transgenic technologies, enrichment, and housing. During lunch and throughout the day, participants can meet with vendors to learn about products and services provided to animal model users, meet speakers, and connect with colleagues doing similar work.
