Beyond Mammals: Exploring Cancer Models Webinar Series

The Beyond Mammals: Exploring Cancer Models Series focuses on non-mammalian animal model and their applicability to cancer research.

Each webinar highlights three researchers and their experience using non-mammalian models to answer cancer biology questions. Following their talks, a discussion moderated by a DCB program director explored the following questions:

• What is unique about this organism that makes it useful as a cancer model?
• What are the most important differences to keep in mind between this model and human cancer?
• What are the major obstacles to more cancer researchers adopting this model for use in their labs?

This virtual event series provides new perspectives on cancer modeling using non-mammalian organisms.
