Next month: 9th Annual Retreat – NIDA Center for GWAS in Outbred Rats

We are pleased to announce the upcoming 9th (and final) Annual Retreat for the P50 Center for Genetic Studies of Drug Abuse in Outbred Rats!

The Retreat will take place on Friday, October 27, 2023 at the University of California San Diego.

Fourteen presenters from the P50 Center and the HS rat community will give talks on their research and all attendees will have the opportunity for a brief Q&A after each talk. We will also have poster boards around the meeting room detailing current research. This Retreat will be a hybrid format with on-campus and streaming participation available.

Complete Retreat details are available on the RatGenes website.
