About
This hands‐on workshop teaches participants to use Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) to efficiently manage mouse strains. Topics covered include cryobiology and strain archival, colony expansion, strain rescure, rederivation, genetic stability and how to overcome breeding problems using ARTs. Hands‐on techniques covered include embryo handling, embryo and sperm cryopreservation and recovery, surgical and non‐surgical embryo transfer, In‐vitro fertilization, vasectomy, superovulation, ovarian transplantation and inducing pseudopregnancy. Aseptic surgical techniques, biomethods and project planning will also be covered. Participants will be taught by leading experts in the field and will obtain the information they need to implement ARTs when they return to their institution.
Completion of this workshop can be used for continuing educational units for AALAS re-certification.
The 2020 schedule is still under construction. Please view the 2019 schedule for planning purposes. The 2020 check-in date will be Monday, May 25th and the check-out date will be Friday, May 29th.
