SUMMARY:Genetically altered laboratory animals: models\, phenotyping principles and preclinical models
DESCRIPTION:With tutor Michelle Stewart PhD\nThis unit will provide the learner with an understanding of different types of genetic model\, the available approaches for their phenotypic evaluation\, practical and logistic considerations and the challenge to map traits of human relevance in preclinical models. \nFace to Face learning – 8-10th Feb 2027 at the Advance Training Centre.  Zoom sessions maybe setup after the face to face teaching. \nThis course involves some pre-reading of a journal paper\, and writing a review of the paper. This should take approximately 4 hours. \n\nCourse Details\nDiploma Credits: 30\n\nIAT CPD Credits: 45\n\nTutor: Michelle Stewart\nYou will cover\n\n 	Genetically altered animal models\n 	Generation of GA mice\n 	Other mammalian GA strains (rats\, livestock\, NHP)\n 	Animal models in genetic research\n 	Complex genetic lines\n 	Basis of conditional transgenesis\n 	Basis of inducible conditional transgenesis\n 	QC of recombinases\n 	Maintaining conditional alleles\n 	Breeding conditional alleles for experiments\n\nKey Skills you will develop\n\n 	Knowledge and understanding of the different approaches available for generating genetically modified animals\n 	Ability to devise appropriate breeding programmes detailing the key stages\n 	Ability to compare and contrast methods of generating genetically altered models in other species (fish\, rats\, poultry\, livestock)\n 	Ability to design an experiment using appropriate conditional and/or inducible transgenic technologies\n 	Ability to locate specific lines carrying genetic tools (recombinases etc) mouse strains in international repositories and identify key information including nomenclature from the descriptions given\n 	Ability to devise strategies for quality controlling conditional/inducible experiments\n 	Ability to formulate a breeding plan\, taking account of power to detect traits and determine appropriate controls for conditional experimentation\n 	Ability to consider what constitutes a preclinical model and how models may be utilised\n\n*Further IAT fees may apply

SUMMARY:IAT West Middlesex Branch Symposium
DESCRIPTION:13th Annual Technician Symposium\n\n\n\nThe IAT West Middlesex Branch is pleased to welcome you to our annual symposium on the 9th February 2027. \n\n\n\nWelcome to the IAT West Middlesex Branch 13th Symposium! Join us on Tue Feb 09 2027 at 09:30 AM GMT for an exciting day of learning and networking at the Francis Crick Institute. This in-person event is a fantastic opportunity to connect with professionals in the industry and gain valuable insights. Get ready to immerse yourself in engaging discussions and informative presentations. Expand your knowledge\, exchange ideas\, and stay up-to-date with the latest trends in the field. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience! Register now to secure your spot. \n\n\n\nThere will be a small poster display\, so if you would like to display a poster\, please sign up for a ‘poster display’ ticket and then contact hannah.easter@crick.ac.uk for further details. There are very limited spaces for posters. \n\n\n\nRegistration will close on the 19th January 2027. \n\n\n\nThe IAT WMB hope you enjoy catching up with friends and colleagues you may not have seen for a while\, also enjoying the trade stands and talks we have for you. \n\n\n\nLunch will be provided as well as a coffee break so plenty of chance to re-fuel through the day. \n\n\n\nPlease note entry to the symposium is subject to registering to attend via eventbrite. \n\n\n\nThe programme and trade stands are still a work in progress. When the programme is finallised it will be published here. In previous year we have had some great talks covering a wide subject area and over multiple species as well as over 30 trade stands at the event. \n\n\n\nRegistration enquirieshannah.easter@crick.ac.uk \n\n\n\nTrade enquiriesclare.brazill-adams@crick.ac.uk
