Lectures and seminars JAX Webinar: Understanding the C57BL/6J mouse model - From genetic origins to research applications
The aim of these CPD webinars (Continuing professional development) is to follow the legal requirements for maintenance and demonstration of competence in laboratory animal science, and to facilitate the implementations of the 3R’s in routine animal work.
The C57BL/6J mouse strain is one of the most widely used inbred models in biomedical research, serving as a cornerstone across disciplines such as genetics, immunology, metabolism, and neuroscience. Developed in the early 20th century and extensively characterized, it remains the reference background for many genetically engineered mouse models.
We invite you to join Dr. Corigan Smothers, JAX Technical Information Scientific Consultant, for an informative webinar that will highlight key features of the C57BL/6J strain, offering valuable insights researchers can immediately apply, including:
Strain Origin: Understand the history and development of C57BL/6J
Genetic Stability: Learn how consistency is maintained in modern colonies
Research Applications: Explore its strengths from model generation to key research areas
Strain Considerations: Examine known irregularities and their impact on study design and colony management
Webinars are 45 - 50 minutes long, followed by a Q&A session. Learn more about the benefits of attending this webinar or register now by clicking the link below.
