TT-RIIP International Course

TRANSGENIC TECHNOLOGIES in  MODELING HUMAN DISEASES:

Principles, Associated Technologies, Animal Management and Ethics

|

SUMMARY

The course is a joint action undertaken by the three Transgenic Facilities of Institute Pasteur International Network (IPIN), in Athens, Montevideo and Paris.

Our aim is to organize an 8-days course on Transgenic Technologies in modeling human diseases, offering an holistic knowledge on the field, hands-on training on basic experimental techniques in mice, and networking of scientists fostering continuing communication and technology sharing. The focus will be on basic and updated knowledge on transgenesis, on associated technologies for genotyping, phenotyping, archiving and storage (i.e. Genome-Wide Analysis, Next Generation Sequencing, bioinformatics, bioimaging, cryopreservation), on laboratory animals management according to the 3Rs approach (Directive 2010/63/EU) (i.e. complexity of breeding, animal welfare) and ethics.

Dates: 5-13 June 2017

Application deadline: 10 March 2017

Language: ENGLISH

The course comprises:

The course consists of 4 days of lecture sessions and 4 days of hands-on sessions (including Saturday). It will include lectures from 23 field-experts, practice on manipulating mouse embryos, basic techniques on transgenesis and cultural and social events. This course is financially supported by the Institut Pasteur International Network (RIIP), and therefore is referred as TT-RIIP international course and co-sponsored by the International Society for Transgenic Technology (ISTT). The practical session will be performed in the officially approved facilities of the Department of Animal Models for Biomedical Research and Transgenic Technology Lab of Hellenic Pasteur Institute that operates in line with the EU and international laws, FELASA recommendations and ARRIVE guidelines.

The assessment of learning outcomes of the course will be made through a multiple-choice and/or short-answer questionnaire. Answers will be evaluated at the end of the course by the organizing committee. Certificates will be issued to the successful candidates. The assessment of the quality of the course will be made by each participant through an evaluation sheet.

The course is addressed to PhD-students, Post-doctoral fellows in life sciences, early-stage researchers, veterinarians and technicians working with transgenic technologies.
