“How to Make a Mouse: High through-put manufacturing of the world’s most indispensable animal research model” by Katherine (Kate) Wasson, DVM, Phd, and Diplomate, American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine.

    Dr. Wasson will discuss her experience running an academic, fee-for-service program that produces custom-made mice for biomedical researchers around the globe.

     She is a board certified laboratory animal medicine veterinarian with scientific training in infectious diseases. She oversees the day-to-day operation of the UC Davis Mouse Biology Program and also serves as Attending Veterinarian at UC Merced. She is a guest lecturer in the veterinary medicine professional curriculum covering biology, diseases and treatment of small rodents and rabbits.

   Despite being dangerously overeducated, she has absolutely no training or qualifications in "the field of study that focuses on the effective planning, scheduling, use and control of a manufacturing or service organization through the study of concepts from design engineering, industrial engineering, management information systems, quality management, production management, inventory management, accounting, and other functions as they affect the organization.”
