Phenotyping Course ME:680.712
Phenotyping for Functional Genetics, ME:680.712
(Mouse Biology, Pathology, Genetics for Phenotyping and Translational Research)
This course, offered throgh the JHUSOM graduate school, is intended for graduate students or postdocs at any level, who currently work with, or expect to work with mouse models and genetically engineered mice.
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine faculty, and Bloomberg School of Public Health faculty introduce students to mouse handling, biology, pathology, genetics, normal 'phenotypes', phenotyping concepts, and to new and established phenotyping capabilities in multiple disciplines. Phenotyping expertise and resources at JHMI are emphasized.
Lecture topics include, but are not limited to laboratory mouse genetics and 'normal' phenotypes, genetic engineering strategies for mice (and other animals), traditional and novel imaging strategies, various aspects of neurobehavioral phenotyping, motor phenotyping, metabolic phenotyping, pulmonary phenotyping, clinical pathology and anatomic pathology phenotyping.
Laboratory sessions include but are not limited to clinical and physical examination of mice, clinical pathology and anatomic pathology.
A 5 day short course is being developed for 2010, with JHUSOM graduate school credit, RACE credit, and registration open to non-JHU scientists, veterinarians, pathologists.
