What is a gene? What is DNA? How do these make proteins? What goes wrong and causes disease in the human body? This course provides a comprehensive introduction into genetics, covering the genetic code and how this leads to protein formation, as well as how errors in DNA can lead to disease. After this course, […]
This unit prepares individuals to be able to identify normal condition and behaviour of experimental animals and enable them to differentiate between a normal animal and one which is showing signs of pain, suffering or distress which could be a result of factors including environment, husbandry or the effect of experimental protocols. It will also […]
Our regular workshops on prevention and alleviation of pain and distress have dealt primarily with post-surgical pain. Although we've had overwhelmingly positive feedback, we have had frequent requests to include more information on other sources of pain and distress. Matt Leach, Jon Gledhill and I have been working to achieve this, and have redeveloped and […]
