| The 3Rs Collaborative and the New Jersey Association for Biomedical Research are delighted to announce the 2024 3Rs Sharing Conference hosted by Genentech. The sharing conference offers high-quality speakers and facilitated participant interactions and networking.
This year's conference will include a variety of 3Rs content with a focus on improving rigor and translatability in biomedical research through the robust incorporation of the 3Rs. We will explore opportunities for the robust incorporation of 3Rs in institutional research, as well as machine learning and non-animal technologies to advance rigor and translation. Presentations will address the use of current and emerging technologies to help guide future drug development strategy to advance next steps. In addition, the conference will discuss study design, animal methodology, and, as always, best practices to promote laboratory animal welfare for a variety of species.
Early registration rates close on March 17, 2024. Register today for the lowest rate. Registration includes the cost of breakfast, ample snacks/coffee throughout the day, lunch, and a networking session with appetizers.
