This laboratory-based training course will cover the fundamental principles and techniques of genetic manipulation of mouse embryos and ES cells for a broad range of applications, namely for creating mutant and transgenic models for biomedical research.
All topics will be covered in once-daily morning lectures followed by practical sessions, which will entail the demonstration of the experimental techniques followed by hands-on execution by the participants. The learning process will develop through direct contact with the experimental protocols and hands-on work.
The participants will be evaluated continuously throughout the practical sessions and by the production of an original experimental project on a related topic
