Summary

New and more relevant experimental models – in vivo, in vitro, and in silico – will be essential for better understanding diseases and more effectively testing therapeutics.

This event will highlight work at numerous labs across CTSI’s academic and clinical partners that is creating and using novel modeling systems as well as developing technologies and methods to improve the predictive value of model data for biological and clinical contexts.
