The CELPHEDIA meeting 2018 will take place from October 17th to 19th, at the IGBMC, in Illkirch (south of Strasbourg), .

As every year, Strasbourg will welcome all the actors of the 15 partner centers of CELPHEDIA Research Infrastructure, as well as the members of CELPHEDIA Network.

This year, CELPHEDIA will focus on the transparency of research using animals, during an inaugural session of conferences open to the local scientific public.

The objective is to gather the French scientific communities working on common themes and on different model organisms:

• Genetic engineering and model creation
• Hosting of different model organisms (aquatic vertebrates, rodents, non-human primates)
• Ethics and animal welfare
• Phenotyping (metabolism, cardiology, behaviour, immunophenotyping, oncology, imaging, etc...)
• Archiving and cryopreservation techniques
• Data storage
• Regulatory training and continuing education
• Multi-species approaches
• Communication on transparency in animal research

During this plenary session, the working groups, whose aim is to strengthen and promote this combination of competences, will present their annual assessment and their perspectives.
