The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over 7 million cases and more than 428000 cases to date. While public health interventions and social distancing measures have been effective in slowing...
Concerns about the quality of published animal research include inefficient or flawed study design, inappropriate statistical analysis and incomplete reporting. The ARRIVE guidelines were de...
The justification of sample size is one of the hardest sections of a proposal an IACUC (ethical review board) has to assess, yet is arguably one of the most important (1). This is a key oppo...
Inherent in research, is the simplification of a complex world into a testing space to explore cause and effect. Across preclinical research, questions are being raised on the testing space...
In the course of the so-called reproducibility crisis, various sources of poor reproducibility of animal research have been identified, including a lack of scientific rigor, low statistical...
Biomedical research suffers from a translation gap, where most treatments that seem effective when tested on animals turn out not to work in human patients. This is likely due in large part...
Digital technology is improving the speed and accuracy of all the world’s work processes and activities, the including the research vivarium. This presentation will address some of way...
Nonterminal blood collection from mice is frequently performed in biomedical research. Multiple phlebotomy sites and restraint techniques are available to investigators. Methods that minimiz...
Compassion Fatigue can affect all those that care for and work with laboratory animals, including husbandry staff, veterinary staff, researchers, and other support staff. It is known as the...
The ability to rapidly and accurately identify pain in mice is critical for providing them optimal care and welfare. To meet this need, we developed and validated the Grooming Transfer Test...
Tuberculosis (TB) is the No.1 cause of death due to a single infectious agent in the world today. According to the global report from World Health Organization, one third of world population...
Experimental models that promise to replace animal tests that are currently required for drugs and chemicals are rapidly proliferating. This includes a number of novel solutions offered by b...
Animal welfare is the most important issue in any in vivo laboratory. The ability to detect and intervene in cases where the conditions of animals may be deteriorating as well as the ability...
Household produce varieties such as ‘Red Delicious,’ ‘Campari,’ and ‘Earlidew’ have been selectively bred and have been enhanced for flavor since the 1990...

Too frequently the investigator will provide “scientific” reasons to justify precluding analgesics from experimental procedures that may involve more than momentary pain, often wi...
Pharmaceutical research and development efforts are often both inefficient and suffer from a high attrition rate of drug candidates within the clinical phase of development. Most drug t...
The lung is a highly complex organ, comprised of more than 40 cell types that are responsible for various important functions, the lung’s complexity contributes to the subsequent challe...
This presentation will discuss and review the promise and potential of 3D Microtissues, and the challenges of using these Microtissues as Hazard ID tools. Lastly, we will discuss the potentia...
The goal of transforming one’s pipeline to a steady source of usable data is within our reach. Data that could be used for clinical insights or earlier in the drug discovery process. &n...

Comparative oncology is the study of naturally-occurring cancers in pet animals (mainly dogs) to broaden and deepen our collective understanding of cancers in both companion species and human...
Approximately 30% of drugs have failed in human clinical trials due to adverse reactions despite promising pre-clinical studies, and another 60% fail due to lack of efficacy. The NIH Tissue C...
