Current Practices for the Use of Analgesics in Laboratory Animal Medicine Webinar
Presented by
Hilton Klein, VMD, MS
Dipl. ECLAM, ACLAM
Dr. Hilton Klein, Laboratory Animal Medicine Consultant, will explore preoperative and postoperative modalities for pain management with a focus on rodents and nonhuman primates. Moderated by Dr. Cindy Buckmaster, this session will address both animal and researcher perspectives across key areas.
Collaborating with You to Advance the 3Rs Webinar
Presented by
Dr. Megan R. LaFollette, MS, PhD
Scientific research is committed to forward progress. One key aspect of this forward progress is via the implementation of the 3Rs (refinement, reduction, and replacement) which are a key part of humane animal research and quality science. However, widespread implementation of 3Rs practices can be challenging especially when working independently.
Did That Really Happen – Perspectives from a Pioneer in LAS Webinar
Presented by
Dr. Norm Guilloud
In this webinar, Dr. Norman Guilloud will share highlights of his distinguished 60-year laboratory animal science career that are certain to surprise and intrigue. He is a pioneer of laboratory animal science, being the first ever Attending Veterinarian at several renowned institutions. Having watched our field change in remarkable ways firsthand, Dr. Guilloud will provide perspectives on how our care and use of animals has evolved and will answer attendee questions on how his vast knowledge can be applied to challenges we face today.
Challenges Facing NHP Supply Chain Webinar
Presented by
Matt Bailey
Dr. Chris Abee
Non-human primates play a critical role in biomedical research, as most recently demonstrated by their use in the development of COVID vaccines and treatments. Ongoing supply shortages, however, continue to threaten their availability and – by extension – the important research in which they are involved. Allentown partners with Matt Bailey, President of NABR and FBR, and Dr. Chris Abee, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Medicine at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, to discuss the reasons for these shortages, the impact they are having on research, and the potential solutions for how they can be addressed.
The Power of Listening Webinar
Presented by:
Steven M. Niemi, DVM, DACLAM
Robert Gately famously said that “Effective communication starts with listening.” And nowhere is the application of this precept more important than in the global debate over the necessity and value of research animals. In this webinar noted Laboratory Animal Science professional Steven M. Niemi, DVM, DACLAM will discuss how the two sides of this debate can better learn how to listen to one another and, if not agree, then perhaps come to an understanding of their divergent, yet equally held beliefs.
Coming Clean On Sterilization Webinar
Presented by
Cindy Buckmaster
Wayne DeSantis
The sterilization of cages, cage components, and associated vivarium equipment has long been an integral part of lab animal research protocols. Yet many factors and questions remain. For this webinar, Allentown partners with industry thought-leader Cindy Buckmaster for a review of sterilization best practices, followed by a sterilizer selection and integration discussion with Wayne DeSantis.
