Having the knowledge and confidence to work safely in the laboratory is a valuable skill for all animal technicians. This course will cover basic theoretical and practical laboratory skills including following COSHH risk assessments, best laboratory practice, use of fume hoods/biosafety cabinets, centrifuges and other laboratory equipment, pipetting skills, using balances and preparing reagents and […]

This course is designed for anyone working with conditional mouse models, including the Cre-Lox system and alternative recombinase platforms such as Flp, Dre, and Vika. These technologies provide researchers with the ability to manipulate gene expression in a spatially and/or temporally controlled manner, enabling precise investigation of biological processes that cannot be interrogated using traditional […]
