22nd Workshop on the Pathology of Mouse Models for Human Disease
The goal of this 5-day workshop is to provide intense interactive sessions aimed at training the next generation of comparative pathologists and biomedical scientists who will be involved in the development and use of mouse models of human disease, while also providing a continuing education resource for those who have experience in the field. The workshop will focus on how mouse models of human diseases are being used in basic research and preclinical studies addressing the pathogenesis and/or efficacy of novel treatments.
The workshop will be led by a group of experienced comparative pathologists from several research institutions across the U.S and Europe who specialize in mouse model use and development. Additional training will be provided by invited experts as well as St. Jude faculty that currently use mouse models to investigate fundamental questions in immunology, cancer pathogenesis and treatment, infectious disease, neurodegenerative disease, and developmental biology. The workshop will include training in the application of the latest technologies available to comparative pathologists who are investigating disease pathogenesis and novel therapeutics in basic and translational research. This will include image analysis techniques, application of artificial intelligence to pathology data, and the use of complex in vitro models.
In-person attendance will provide registrants with invaluable opportunities for networking and building contacts in the field of comparative pathology. For those unable to attend in person, virtual attendance will include the opportunity to interact via virtual chat, with most lectures also being available for 90 days as on-demand recordings.
