The mouse phenogenomics and the good practices regarding the use of mouse models for scientific research
The mouse phenogenomics is currently the key way through modelling of disease in biomedicine. The mouse, first lab mammal to have its genome sequenced, is the most animal model used in laboratory to improve knowledge regarding how gene are involved in health and disease. The understanding of the molecular pathways the gene control is crucial to the understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis, the discovery of new targets and preclinical human therapeutic applications. PHENOMIN, French specialist in the generation of genetically modified mice, and their clinical characterization in vivo (anatomical, physiological and behavioural phenotypes) is actively involved in the international effort to annotate the genome of mammals, and particularly functional annotation of 20 000 coding genes identified in mice, which actually make up only 1.5% of its genome.
PHENOMIN supports researchers who use mouse models by giving us the opportunity to take part of the 2nd Edition of the Advanced School in Mouse Phenogenomics.
Would you like to learn how to choose, create and analyse your best mouse model?
Do you have a sufficient background in mouse functional genomics to lead as best your research?
Then, come to the heart of Europe to be involved - together with other students and researchers from all over the world - in opened discussion, in constructive analysis of your own research and in building conceptual scientific advances.
This unique international event will provide the attendees with an innovative program focused on the best practices in the use of the mouse model for biomedical and basic research; this program also addresses the item of continuing professional education consistent with the new European directive requirement for lab animal protection in experiments.
The school will provide a wealth of information on good practices in the use of mouse model (experimental design, ethics, regulations, analysis, data and resources ...) to support attendees in their research.
Likely to the previous edition, the program consists of invited speakers' talks, work sessions on selected scientific and/or methods issues.
Mornings are devoted to seminars whereas afternoons are devoted to "practical sessions" needing the active attendees' participation (work group, debate, round table,..).
The target audience consists of engineers and/or clinicians and/or researchers who directly or indirectly use mouse as animal model for scientific research. We encourage both industrial and academic researchers, postdocs and PhDs from all Europe to attend this school. The school involves French and European major infrastructures, thought its INFRAFRONTIER partnership.
45 participants could attend at the school.
One of the aims of the PHENOMIN school is to provide the unique opportunity for PhDs and young postdocs to discuss in details about their research with experts as well as with each other.
By this way, and by emphysing the time frame for free time, discussions and exchanges, the school promises to accelerate the sharing of conceptual scientific advances and transfer of innovative methods and techniques in the field of animal testing, and more specifically the use of mice in biomedical research, including the design of experimental protocols until its realization and data analysis.
24 invited experts will attend the school. European speakers, involved in INFRAFRONTIER infrastructure, will join us as well.

The school will boost the emergence of new themes and will accentuate interdisciplinary in scientific survey of PhDs and active staff in the field of functional and clinical studies. In this context, the thematic school allows to provide a friendly environment that fosters strong connections between students, young researchers who would never have the opportunity to meet, and so a warm relationship between researchers, and the organizers and stakeholders. The main objective is to strengthen the relationship between doctoral education and scientific research. Bringing together, the school will structure the scientific community using mice as an experimental model around the infrastructure PHENOMIN and many networks in which it participates actively (CELPHEDIA, INFRAFRONTIER, IMPC...).
