Population-Based Rodent Resources for Environmental Health Sciences Meeting

March 18 – 19, 2015
NIEHS

Meeting Purpose

The unique resources of the Collaborative Cross, Diversity Outbred, Hybrid Diversity panel, and other rodent population-based resources have proven to be powerful tools for identifying individual quantitative trait loci, exploring hypotheses related to gene-environment interplay in human disease, and doing controlled exposure studies to understand the differential responses in humans to environmental exposures. This two-day meeting allowed many investigators to present research on a range of environmental health projects that have utilized these population-based rodent resources and highlight their utilities.
