SUMMARY:Best Practices in Laboratory Management
DESCRIPTION:Laboratory management is a subject that is often learned on the job\, with limited training opportunities for those new to the role. This course is aimed at both researchers who are new to management\, and managers who are new to the laboratory setting. It will provide a foundation of knowledge in various areas of laboratory management that participants can use to improve practices in their own workplace.\n\nWho is this for?\n\n 	Researchers who have recently moved into laboratory management\n 	Managers who are new to science\n\nThis course covers topics including:\n\n 	Laboratory Health and Safety\, including Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH).\n 	Sustainable Laboratory Practices\n 	Inventory Management\n 	Quality Management Systems\n 	Research Integrity

SUMMARY:Experimental Design for In Vivo Research | CLAST
DESCRIPTION:This unit provides a relevant level of understanding of the national and international legal and regulatory framework within which projects are constructed and managed\, and of their legal responsibilities. The learner must be able to identify\, understand and respond appropriately to the ethical and welfare issues raised by the use of animals in scientific procedures generally\, and specifically within their own programme of work. The learner should be able to develop\, direct and control a programme of work in order to achieve its stated objectives\, while ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of any regulation governing the project.\n\nFace to Face learning – 13th-16th October 2025 at Advance. \nCourse Details\nCourse length: 200 hours\n\nCredits: 20\n\nTeacher: Roger Cox & Matt Leach\nYou will cover\n\n 	Legislation and good practice\n 	Project applications\n 	Experimental Design\n 	Statistical techniques\n 	Ethics\n\nKey Skills you will develop\n\n 	Ability to describe in detail the main components of the national legislation regulating the scientific use of animals\n 	Ability to describe the principles of a good scientific strategy that are necessary to achieve robust results\n 	Ability to justify on both scientific and ethical grounds\, the decision to use living animals\n 	Ability to implement the Three Rs\n\n \n\n*Further IAT fees may apply

SUMMARY:Mouse Embryo and Spermatozoa Cryopreservation Course
DESCRIPTION:Cost is inclusive of accommodation\nCryopreservation allows long-term storage of embryos and sperm\, providing a convenient way to preserve\, protect and transport mouse lines for use in research. Archiving scientifically relevant mouse lines also adheres to good animal welfare practices by removing the need for continued animal breeding and is integral to any comprehensive colony management programme.\n\nRunning bi-annually since 2004\, this course provides practical experience in murine embryo and spermatozoa freezing techniques routinely used at MRC Harwell and a simple\, robust in vitro fertilisation procedure. The course will also cover the basic laboratory skills required when working in an assisted reproductive biology environment such as pipetting\, weighing\, microscope use\, and embryo handling.\nWho is this for? \n\n 	Researchers\n 	Senior animal technicians\n 	PhD students\n\nFollowing this course\, you will have:\n\n 	Practical experience of sperm harvesting and freezing/thawing\n 	A clear understanding to set up and in vitro fertilisation session using both frozen and freshly harvested sperm\n 	Practical experience of oocyte and embryo harvesting for in vitro fertilisation and embryo freezing\, respectively\n 	Practical experience of embryo cryopreservation/thawing using a simple vitrification method\n 	An understanding of surgical embryo transfer\, including some practical experience of pre-operative aseptic techniques and sub-cuticular suturing\n 	Practical experience of non-surgical embryo transfer techniques\n 	An understanding of the current methods used for handling and shipping samples and managing a cryo-archive\, as well as an overview of blastocyst genotyping
