More broadly, the workshop on Care, Use, and Welfare of Marmosets as Animal Models for Gene Editing–Based Biomedical Research provided a forum for open discussion of many facets of marmoset research. Panelists reflected on the history of and drivers for the use of marmosets in research, shared recent scientific findings, and discussed approaches used to care for and manage these unique animals in research facilities around the world.
