23-27 April 2006 - Members from MB Quality Assurance attended the 22nd Annual Quality Assurance Meeting at the Point South Mountain Resort in Phoenix, AZ.

Mar 5 - 9, 2006 - MB Research Representatives attended the 45th Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology in San Diego, CA.
MB Research Labs had the honor of co-sponsoring the Roundtable of Toxicology Consultants Meeting. MB Scientists also presented scientific poster presentations on the development and validation of innovative alternative toxicology methods, such as:

Final Validation of a Flow Cytometryo-based Local Lymph Node Assay (FC-LLNA)
FLow cytometry-based Unscheduled DNA Synthesis Assay (FL-UDS)

Dec 1, 2005 - MB Scientists submitted the SBIR Phase I Grant Application "PORcine Cornea Opacity/Reversibility Assay (PORCORA)" to the National Institutes of Health. PORCORA is an alternative toxicology testing method to the Draize Rabbit Eye Test. This proposed alternative is an innovative ocular irritation and injury reversibility assay specifically designed to reduce, refine and replace the use of animals in toxicology testing. Nov 6 - 9, 2005 - MB Research will be attending the 26th American College of Toxicology Annual Meeting in Williamsburg, VA.

Sep 15, 2005 - MB Research will be exhibiting at the 5th Annual Regional Biotech Conference in Chalfont, PA.

Sep 1, 2005 - MB announces the funding of the SBIR Phase II Grant: Enhanced Phototoxicity screening Assay in Reconstituted Skin (EPARS) by the National Institute of Health, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. EPARS is an in vitro screening assay developed to determine the phototoxic potential of chemicals and compounds used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and consumer goods.
