Laboratory informatics is the specialized application of information through a platform of instruments, software, and data management tools that allow scientific data to be captured, migrated, processed, and interpreted for immediate use, as well as stored, managed, and shared to support future research, development, and lab testing efforts while maximizing the efficiency of laboratory operations
Reproducibility refers to the ability of an experiment or study to be replicated, either by the same person or group or by others working independently. With regard to scientific public...
Translational failure in biomedicine has led to much soul-searching about the causes for this. Amongst many others (misunderstanding of statistical tests, vibration of effects, flexibility in...
Noise and vibration are very effective activators of stress pathways in rodent models that can increase variability in animal models, thereby confounding virtually every area of biomedical an...
Quality animal research is based on quality animal care and use. This is achieved by coordinating several key personnel and activities, and implementing appropriate animal care and use proced...
Why did we change focus from the 3Rs to Systematic Reviews? Questionnaires on the 3Rs have revealed that the 3R search gets no high priority and the 3R search process is never included in fun...

As hospitals and healthcare systems move toward value-based care, new management systems are needed to measure and improve clinical processes. This presents both an opportunity and a ch...
One of the challenges in sustaining innovation in computational molecular design is the need to harness and deliver promising solutions irrespective of their source, without creating new soft...
As evidenced by the changes in the new Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory animals and the latest AVMA Panel on Euthanasia, it is clear that there is growing concern about the care and w...
The management of animal research programs has evolved into a complex and multifaceted endeavor. Scientific discovery moves at a fast pace and our knowledge of animal science is continually...
The pre-operative assessment and post-operative is critical for successful surgical procedures which will in turn lead to high quality outcomes in research studies. The care of the animals go...
In the context of an experimental project requiring surgical preparation of animals, training is not only required for technicians lacking a strong surgical background but also for more exper...
Effective workplace training in a research facility is an important key in ensuring smooth operations and high standards of animal care. Today's diverse workforce offers many benefits such a...
Recent advances in anesthesia, monitoring, pain assessment and analgesia provide many opportunities for improving the quality of our in vivo scientific data, and promoting high standards of a...
An anesthesia system designed to accommodate the physiological characteristics of small animals, including rats and mice, has the potential to provide great practical value to the life scienc...
Fish are vertebrates but they are physiologically and psychologically different from mammals. This presentation will try to explain their differences from mammals and the different aspects t...
Laboratory animal surgical models are instrumental in biomedical research; therefore establishing healthy defined animal models is crucial to this research. Surgical procedures produce metab...
Many researchers are not aware of the critical importance of genetic background of mice, including the concept of inbred substrains, and how the genetic background of substrains can impact th...
The field of surgical research has been growing rapidly with the development of new surgical and disease models. An extremely important and often overlooked aspect of creating these models is...
In Chile, the regulatory context regarding animal use in research is very poor. A legal framework for Animal Care and Use Committees is practically nonexistent. Also, the chilean culture play...
It is the often-ignored simple tips in rodent surgery that make the difference and help minimize postoperative complications and mortality. The presenter will use his years of experience to...
Some commonly accepted principles of biosafety include the strict adherence to standard laboratory practices and techniques, the use of safety equipment such as primary barriers and personal...
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...
