21st Pathology of Mouse Models of Human Diseases
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN and Marlo Thomas Center for Global Education and Collaboration will be sponsoring the 21st Pathology of Mouse Models of Human Diseases in September this year.
The duration of this workshop will be 5 full-days. Sessions will begin at 8:30 or 9:30 Central Daylight Time (UTC/GMT -5). However, it should be noted that almost all lectures will be recorded and remain available to both in person and virtual attendees for 60 days following the course, contingent upon agreement by individual lecturers.
We are in the process of getting approval for RACE and MoC credits for attendees and expect to have that approval soon. The primary goal of this workshop is to train the next generation of pathologists (veterinary and medical) and biomedical researchers on how pathologists can contribute to the design and evaluation of experiments that use mice to model human diseases. In the workshop, we are interested in showing how mouse models of human diseases are being used in basic research and preclinical studies addressing the pathogenesis and/or efficacy of novel treatments.
Registration: $750 before 30th June; $1000 after 30th June
Trainee registration: $500 before 30th June; $750 after 30th June
Virtual Course Registration: $200 before 30th June; $300 after 30th June
Registration is now open: https://cvent.me/o1a878
Specific fields of study to be covered in the workshop include cancer biology, cellular and gene therapies, infectious disease pathogenesis and treatment, immunology, neurodegenerative diseases, and other organ-specific abnormalities. The workshop will also include training on the application of technologies that comparative pathologists use to investigate disease pathogenesis in tissues (e.g., multiplex labeling and image acquisition, AI-assisted image analysis, and tissue-based spatial biology applications).

The mouse is heavily utilized as a model of human diseases, and there are increasing demands on pathologists to provide clinically relevant, quantitative morphological and molecular data on mouse models. Given the increasing need for quantitative analysis of lesions in whole slide images, the last day of the workshop will include 8 hours of hands-on bioimage analysis training targeted at scientists who want to analyze microscopy data, but do not have a background in programming or image analysis.
Workshop format: The workshop lectures will be held in person with a concurrent virtual stream (hybrid) for those unable to attend in person. We will have a chat room set up during each lecture where participants can ask questions, which will be monitored by a member of the organizing committee. We will also have a message board set up where virtual participants can interact with in person attendees and the lecturers.
