This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). Special rules apply for research year students enrolled at Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. All other participants must pay the course fee.
Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
1. Describe different approaches to phenotyping of genetically engineered mouse model (knowledge)
2. Analyse and reflect on pitfalls in induction of genetically engineered mouse models (skills)
3. Understand and evaluate possibilities and limitations in the translation from findings in mouse models to relevance for human diseases (skills)
4. Have insight in how to perform necropsy and histopathological analysis in mice (knowledge)
Content
The aim of the course is to teach and train the participants in approaches to efficient phenotyping of genetically engineered mouse models, and provide a deeper understanding of possibilities and limitations in the translation from findings in mouse models to relevance for human diseases.
The course consists of lectures on various genetically engineered mouse models and phenotypic evaluation of these with a special focus on pathology; seminars and group work with critical review of translational research; and practical exercises in phenotyping and pathological evaluation of mice.
