Modeling Human Disease with Diet-Induced Obesity (DIO) Models and Resources
Webinar - The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, US
The July webinar series is about diabetes and obesity research
Take part in our two webinars focused on the characteristics of widely used and emerging models for the study of diet induced obesity and type 2 diabetes to help you choose the best models for your research.
Multiple inbred mouse models serve as powerful tools to study the genetics, underlying mechanisms, and therapies for human metabolic disorders. Learn the applications and considerations for using diet-induced obesity (DIO) models for modeling aspects of human metabolic disease. In this webinar you will:
Learn the advantages of using DIO models for metabolic research
Understand how inbred strain background and substrain background alone can dramatically alter the development of obesity
Identify the characteristic features of DIO models including age and sex at phenotype onset and severity and progression of disease development
Learn environmental factors and husbandry strategies that will promote stability of phenotypes
See data from proof of principle preclinical efficacy studies using reference compounds
