The CSCB training course on mouse genetics and phenotyping
Venue: Model
Animal Research Center, Nanjing University, China
Date: September
17-21, 2018
Official
Language: English
1. Aim and Scope:
Genetic mouse
models are vital to understand the functions of genes and genetic networks in
health and disease. This training course organized by Chinese Society for Cell
Biology (CSCB) and Model Animal Research Center of Nanjing University includes
both comprehensive lectures and workshops on mouse genetics and phenotyping.
The course aims to help participants understand the versatility of mouse as an
important model for studying gene function and human diseases, to improve the
technical skills of participants in mouse phenotyping and histological
analyses, to promote application and standardization of mouse genetics in
international research community and to facilitate the collaboration and
innovation in biomedical advances using mouse models in the developing
countries.
