ITC Humanized Mouse Model Working Group Seminar Series

This ITC working group seminar series aims to provide informational background on existing or newly emerging case studies of humanized mouse models from various organizations, including The Jackson Laboratory, Taconic Biosciences, AstraZeneca, and the US Food and Drug Administration. The working group seeks to better understand the advantages or potential limitations of each model, as well as address how these models could be improved in order to be utilized for drug discovery and safety risk assessment.

The virtual seminar series is open to ITC Committee participants only. Click here to learn more about the HESI ITC Committee.
