Mouse functional genomics: good practices for the use of mouse models for scientific research
This is the 3rd edition of the biannual summer course.
The school will expand your understanding of critical aspects related to mouse model for biomedical and basic research.
1-The thematic school is a 4-days advanced program which promises to accelerate shared conceptual scientific advances, to transfer innovative methods and techniques in the use of mice in biomedical research, from the design of experimental protocols until its realization and data analysis.
2-The school describes the state-of-the-art on a variety of fields, organized around 5 topics, namely mouse genetics, mutagenesis, mouse colony management, mouse clinical phenotyping and data management (statistical approaches).
3- Importantly, it will also be explained the new public web resources connecting model organisms to human diseases for a rich appreciation of the conservation in mammalian functional genomics.
Alternance between courses, lectures, workshop on case studies, and informal time to exchange
Course leader
The French infrastructure PHENOMIN and the European infrastructure INFRAFRONTIER
Target group
The school is intended for postdocs and PhDs, researchers, and clinicians who directly or indirectly use the mouse as a model for scientific research and wish to expand their understanding of animal research.
We encourage both industrial and academic researchers from across Europe to attend this school.
Course aim
To learn more about mouse functional genomics to improve your research and impact you in the way you work with the mouse model in a professional situation:
Expected impacts:
-Concrete changes in the management of your experimental project
-Concrete changes in your laboratory and/or animal facility
-Concrete changes in the analysis and interpretation of the model data you used
