Join us for this virtual event on Thursday\, August 25\, 2022. \nThis engaging workshop will examine the translational value of different approaches\, immune involvement in NASH\, and applications of the preclinical models toward discovery and development of targeted therapies.  \nWe encourage you to pose questions and share your own experiences during this interactive event. There will be a brief Q&A segment following each speaking session\, and the workshop will conclude with a roundtable discussion. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFred Beasley\, PhD\nField Applications Scientist\, Taconic Biosciences \nSridhar Radhakrishnan\, PhD\nSenior Scientist\, Research Diets \nArion Kennedy\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, North Carolina State University \nHarmeet Malhi\, MBBS\nConsultant\, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology\, Department of Internal Medicine\, Professor of Physiology\, Professor of Medicine\, Mayo Clinic Rochester \nMichele Vacca\, MD\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Medicine\, Universita Degli Studi Di Bari Also Moro\, and Member of the Litmus European Consortium URL:https://bioct.org/event/advancing-nash-research-with-mice-best-practices-and-applications-of-westernized-diets-hosted-by-taconic-biosciences/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220825T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220825T130000 DTSTAMP:20240329T085758 CREATED:20220811T172909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220811T173337Z UID:6064-1661428800-1661432400@bioct.org SUMMARY:WIB-Executive Mentoring (eMAPS) Presents: A Guide to Post-Pandemic Career Advancement DESCRIPTION:Over the last two years\, career and professional development may have taken a back seat to the many demands and emergencies facing organizations in the pandemic era.
