[LARC+SOH] Comparative Medicine Models

Come learn about animal models and comparative medicine! How can non-human animals provide us with insight into biomedical research? Join us with TWO amazing laboratory animal residents:

Dr. Hiro Kawano, past laboratory animal medicine - traditional track resident at UC Davis, will talk about humanized mice as animal models. Humanized mice are mice engrafted with human-derived material (DNA, tissue, microbiome, etc.).

Dr. Ulana Stasula, laboratory animal medicine - primate track resident, will talk about Indian flying bats as animal models for research. Learn why this species is used and how unorthodox species can be informative in comparative medicine.
