2023 Team Science Summit
Advances, Applications, and Future Directions in Disease Models
Event Details
Friday, October 27
9:00AM–2:15PM EST
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.
