Best Practices for Design, Generation, and Use of Diet Induced Obesity and NASH Models
When you're using murine models of diet-induced obesity (DIO) and NASH, the success of the study depends on careful planning and execution. Whether you're buying preconditioned animals, conditioning a readily available mouse strain in-house, or designing a novel GEM from scratch, this webinar series has you covered. This selection of webinar speakers share expertise gained from Taconic's decades of experience with diet-conditioned metabolic disease models, which you can apply to your next study.
This series includes three upcoming webinars:
Part 1: Best Practices for Diet Induced NASH and DIO Studies: How Housing and Husbandry Can Impact Outcomes
Learn practical and important strategies related to housing and husbandry for diet-induced obese and NASH mouse models. Empowering you with these simple strategies and critical information can mean the difference between study success and failure.
Part 2: Drug Discovery Applications of Diet Induced Obese (DIO) B6 Mice
Learn the history of the classic DIO B6 model and explore the new ways it's being used today. See how researchers are applying the DIO B6 for drug discovery in the metabolic disease realm and to model obesity as a comorbidity for cancer and other conditions.
Part 3: NASH Rodent Models: From Design to Cohort
Gain a start-to-finish understanding of NASH rodent models. Review the various stages: from generation of a custom genetically engineered model (GEM) to cohort production and expansion, diet-conditioning and study start. This webinar offers strategies on how to manage your project effectively and reduce timelines.
