BSTP/Wellcome Trust – Mouse Models of Disease
The lack of reproducibility in biomedical science, particularly mouse model analyses, is hindering advances in our understanding of human disease and the development of novel therapies. This 3-day meeting will address this problem by sharing best practices in histopathology to ensure the generation of accurate data from mouse models.
The meeting will bring together veterinary and human pathologists and scientists working with mouse models in academic and industrial research. The programme will review basic approaches to creating and interpreting reproducible mouse pathology data. A major focus of this year’s meeting will be the techniques used to investigate the pathology in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts in challenged and non-challenged phenotyping studies. Throughout the programme an emphasis will be placed on understanding the influence of environmental effects and experimental challenges on pathology endpoints and their potential effects on the reproducibility of data.
This meeting has been CPD approved by the Royal College of Pathologists (17 credits).
