Oct 02 16th Annual Workshop on the Pathology of Mouse Models for Human Disease

16th Annual Workshop on the Pathology of Mouse Models for Human Disease

Location: The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor ME

This workshop provides a week of intensive training sessions in pathology and histopathology as well as didactic sessions in which particular disease areas and models will be discussed. Participants will have an opportunity to interact with a group of prominent mouse pathologists and geneticists from leading research institutions.

About

Topics and models to be covered include: nomenclature, basic mouse genetics, concepts of mouse model generation, approaches to working up mutant mice, role of pathologists at research institutions, systemic, hematopoietic, mammary, gynecologic, cutaneous, infectious and immune system pathology, embryology and cancer models.

Minimum qualification of M.D. or D.V.M. (or equivalent) is required.

Funding for this conference was made possible by grant number R13 OD010920 from the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health and the National Institute on Aging.

The Jackson Laboratory strongly encourages the participation of groups under-represented in biomedical sciences, including persons with disabilities. For scholarship awards, first preference will be given to students, post-doctoral fellows, or junior faculty from populations under-represented in the biomedical sciences currently enrolled in, or working at, a U.S. institution. (See also NIH NOT-OD-15-053 for definitions regarding under-represented groups). NIH funded scholarships may be restricted to citizens of the United States.

Scholarship funds will offset either all or a portion of the tuition and fees required to attend the educational program. Funds will not be sent to successful awardees; rather funds are credited to applicants who register to take a course.

Scholarship Application Deadline: August 1, 2017

Scholarship applications require the following information:

A CV or resume
A written statement of need (100-250 words)
A written statement describing how the course/workshop will foster your academic or career objectives (100-250 words)
