SEB as a society supports science conducted in an ethical and humane manner and our 2016 symposium will promote the 3Rs (Reduction, Replacement, Refinement) in animal biology. This meeting will be dedicated to improving animal welfare, reducing numbers of animals used and replacing animals in experimental procedures in animal behaviour, endocrinology, neurobiology, physiology, toxicology, and other disciplines by focussing on innovations in the 3Rs principles. This symposium will showcase the latest research through two days of invited and submitted presentations by experts and young researchers in the field of 3Rs research. We shall also devote a proportion of this meeting to educating our members on key areas of experimental animal welfare, reducing or replacing animals in experiments, ethics, funding opportunities, engagement with the public and openness in science e.g. The Concordat. This symposium covers all of the interest groups within the Animal Section so has broad appeal and will also be relevant to members of the Cell Section that use cell cultures rather than whole animals. We welcome abstracts from Ph.D. students, early career researchers and academics on the following topics: Reduction – Methods that minimise the numbers of animals used in experiments; Replacement – Methods that avoid or replace the use of animals; Refinement – Methods that minimise suffering and improve animal welfare. ...

The Wellcome Trust is pleased to announce the 28th annual Mouse Molecular Genetics conference. This meeting is the leading forum for researchers who apply genetics and genomics techniques in the mouse to address fundamental issues in mammalian biology. The Mouse Molecular Genetics conference attracts international participation and promotes the presentation of novel, unpublished research findings. This year’s conference will showcase the latest developments in genetics, genomics, engineering of the mouse genome, systems analysis, and imaging of dynamic molecular and physiological processes. The meeting takes the form of topic-related platform sessions and two poster sessions. Sessions will include organogenesis, development, genomics, epigenetics, stem cell biology, technology, models of human disease and cancer. The platform sessions are composed of long talks from leaders in the field and short presentations selected from submitted abstracts, often from graduate students and post-docs. This format provides a stimulating environment for the exchange of ideas and information. ... [Information of the supplier]
