Discovery informatics encompasses a variety of technological and mathematical fields such as statistics, data programming, and machine learning. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Discovery informatics aims to generate novel ideas and technologies by integrating, analyzing, and understanding large and complex data sets.
During my presentation, we will discuss:- Normal patterns of behavior (repertoire): social, food intake, territorial, agonistic, anti-predation, sleep and rest, play behavior, grooming, sex...
The transportation of laboratory animals is a critical step in obtaining the proper strain of animal that best fits the researchers needs. Animal Extremist groups have made this transportati...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
Adherence to strict aseptic technique is vital to all types of animal models requiring surgical intervention from both scientific and welfare perspectives. Training of both new and experience...
The comprehensive, multidimensional molecular characterization of tumors and the individuals in which they have developed is transforming cancer definition, diagnosis, treatment, and preventi...
This presentation will focus on NuMediis general approach towards the discovery of new therapeutic uses for existing drugs. While the business models for repurposing marketed drugs versus rep...
Since leaving Pfizer to go back to academia in 2007, Andrew Hopkins (University of Dundee, UK) has been a leading researcher in the search for new informatics and computational methods to imp...

In this presentation I describe pathway based analyses of genotyping data to identify pathways related to the development of complex diseases, with a focus on lung cancer and selected autoimm...
Clinical laboratory information provides decision support for most healthcare providers and impacts care processes and patient outcomes throughout the entire health services delivery system....
Laboratory rats and mice are the most used animal species in scientific research, but still having a lot of information available about them, there are many places in Latin America where ther...
Informatics and internet are widely accepted tools in education and research. In the past decades new teaching and learning strategies have been developed and implemented. E-learning was def...
Intravascular catheterization access for injection and sampling is one of the most common experimental surgical procedures.Catheters and ports have been designed to reduce the problems of occ...
perioperative analgesia aims to minimize, or even eliminate pain during a surgical procedure. Currently this approach is rarely performed using a single analgesic drug and more commonly diff...
The zebrafish, Danio rerio, is an ideal model organism to address a broad array of biomedical questions, and is now widely employed to answer questions about aging, behavior, cancer, growth,...
All trainers are people but not all people are trainers. Several factors beyond the trainer influence the effectiveness of a safety training programs. This program will discuss the critical...
Oftentimes, by the time that laboratory animal facility personnel learn about a facility construction project, the project has been underway for quiet some time without their knowledge but mo...
We all have to provide training; if our program is big or small, a germ-free mouse colony or field studies in Africa, centralized or not. Animal research programs, as varied as they are, have...
The environment in which laboratory rodents are kept has an impact on experimental data and breeding performance. The quality of the environment is defined by both the quality of the primary...
The rise of zebrafish as a research model has been dramatic. Given the global nature of the work, the rise in shipping zebrafish as a laboratory species has been sharp. Up until this point th...
Biofilms, are defined as communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-generated matrix of exopolysaccharides and adhered to an inert surface or a live tissue. They are formed 95...
The proper surgical techniques represent a key opportunity to improve the welfare of laboratory rodents, while meeting legal and ethical obligations. Use of inappropriate or poor surgical tec...
It is well documented that social housing is fundamental to good welfare for non-human primates (NHPs). Despite this, many laboratory NHPs around the world continue to be singly housed, thoug...
A problem facing the rapid growth of zebrafish as a model for human disease is a lack of qualified personnel that understand the benefits and limitations of fish culture. As this model gains...
