N & B Seminar: Manuel Garcia, Ph.D., DVM

Rodent Surgery Refresher Training

Training on rodent surgical techniques is not a static, one-time process; continuing education and refresher training is invaluable. In addition to reviewing the basics, refinements to rodent surgical techniques will be discussed. The target audience is anyone who is or will be performing survival surgical procedures on rodents (mice or rats). Additionally, this seminar will serve as valuable preparation for our AAALAC accreditation inspection.

[NAB, CPCN Seminar] Engineering biomaterials and matrix signals to prevent infection, inflammation, and promote repair of large-scale bone defects

Biomaterial strategies to repair craniomaxillofacial (CMF) defects, or large-scale bone defects, require materials which can provide structural support, resist infection, and provide cellular signals to promote bone formation. Mineralized collagen scaffolds are biomaterials capable of regenerating bone in small animal models; however, like many biomaterials, struggle to repair large-scale defects in clinically-relevant models (porcine).
