Beyond Leptin: Emerging Mouse Models of Type 2 Diabetes

Webinar - The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, US

The July webinar series is about diabetes and obesity research

Polygenic mouse models are powerful tools for understanding and developing better treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Choosing a model requires a clear understanding of the benefits and limitations, and environmental factors that affect the phenotypes. Join us as we discuss

The strengths and weaknesses of spontaneous and induced type 2 diabetes mouse models

Published discoveries including underlying mechanisms to drug discovery

Proven husbandry techniques that minimize mouse-to-mouse variability

Tips for planning experiments with diabetic mice

Presenter: Peter Kelmenson, Technical Information Scientist
