Event Details

Humanized immune system mouse models are critical tools for basic research into the human immune system, modeling of certain human-specific infectious diseases, efficacy testing of immunotherapy approaches and safety assessment for large molecule therapeutics.

Attend this symposium to gain critical insight about humanized models and how they can be applied in drug discovery:

  • Key humanized immune system mouse models commonly used
  • Use of humanized mice as critical tools for immuno-oncology research
  • Use of humanized mice models in drug safety assessment
