The 4th Annual Swine in Biomedical Research Conference is the next in a series of conferences that have highlighted the utility of porcine models in biomedical research.
The specific aims of the conference are to:
-
Identify areas of study or methodologies that enhance the utility of pigs as biomedical models.
-
Identify resource needs and areas in which new approaches or methodologies are required.
-
Stimulate interactions between researchers working within swine and human disciplines.
-
Provide an integrated discussion focusing on the regulated use of pigs and regulatory approval pathways associated with the use of pigs for biomedical research.
