2021 HANDS Animal Model Webinar Series
The Hydrocephalus Association would like to invite you to the 2021 HANDS Webinar Series. The focus of this multiday series will be on new animal models being used in research. For more details on the Animal Model Webinar Series and how to register, please refer to the information below. Join us to learn about the benefits and drawbacks of various models being implemented in current research.
Please register for each week.
If you would like to watch recordings of past webinars, please become a HANDS member! Then, you can access the recordings here.
