Exhibitor Hosted Session: Building a Global<br />

Standard GLP Preclinical Research Operation in<br />

China<br />

Presented by: Charles River Laboratories<br />

The presentation will cover Charles River Laboratories’ initiative to<br />

establish a global standard GLP preclinical research operation in China.<br />

In recent years, China, particularly Shanghai, has experienced tremendous<br />

growth in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Charles Rivers’ objective<br />

is to support these companies’ research and development needs by<br />

providing preclinical services. The unique challenges and opportunities <strong>of</strong><br />

operating a GLP preclinical operation in China will be discussed.<br />

Postdoctoral Assembly Luncheon<br />

(Ticket Required)<br />

Amidst scrambling to attend all <strong>of</strong> the symposia, poster sessions, and<br />

social events at the meeting, this will be time for postdocs to kick back and<br />

relax! All postdoctoral fellows are invited to a casual, fun-filled luncheon<br />

organized by the Postdoctoral Assembly (PDA). We will announce the first<br />

recipients <strong>of</strong> the Best Postdoctoral Publication Awards and acknowledge<br />

the postdocs who received awards this year from Specialty Sections and<br />

Regional Chapters. The newly elected PDA Board members for 2008-2009<br />

will also be introduced and will present a short overview <strong>of</strong> accomplishments<br />

and future directions for the PDA. This is a great opportunity for you<br />

to meet and congratulate your postdoctoral colleagues and check out opportunities<br />

to volunteer and assume leadership roles within SOT. There will be<br />

a drawing for prizes.<br />

Exhibitor Hosted Session: The Future <strong>of</strong><br />

Telemetry<br />

Presented by: Data Integrated Scientific Systems (D.I.S.S.)<br />

Welcome to the future! A look at the newest products and options for the<br />

highest quality telemetry systems available. Come hear about systems that<br />

can accommodate both implanted and non-invasive telemetry, alarm notification,<br />

networking, remote control, database organization, new sensors<br />

and more<br />

Exhibit Hall 4C-3<br />

Exhibitor Hosted Session: Key Contemporary<br />

Concepts in Neurotoxicity Screens<br />

Presented by: NeuroScience Associates (NSA)<br />

The most fundamental objective in a neurotoxicity assessment is to assess<br />

for potential cell death (neurodegeneration) which is an excellent, but<br />

elusive indicator <strong>of</strong> neurotoxicity. This session will focus on the proper<br />

application <strong>of</strong> contemporary assessment principles (sacrifice schedules and<br />

sampling) that can efficiently expose neurodegeneration, enabling accurate<br />

safety screens.<br />
