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 />

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 />
