Carga Horária: 30 horas - 02 créditos

Local: Forma remota

Professoras da Disciplina :

 

Prof. Doutor Rui M. Gil da Costa (coordinator, UFMA)
Prof. Doutora Haissa O. Brito (UFMA)

Objectives

To address theoretic and practical notions on the use of laboratory animals (mainly rats and mice), focusing on PPGSAD research lines, namely oncology, cardiovascular pathology, chronic and degenerative diseases and infectious diseases. Pharmacological, toxicological and physiopathological approaches will be covered, including general notions of neuroimunoendocrinology. Ethical concerns regarding the use of laboratory animals will be emphasized.

 

Venue

All classes will be held online via Google meets, following recommendations for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Links for attending each class will be provided by the discipline's coordinator. Classes will be held during the afternoon (14h to 18h), Monday to Friday.

 

Main topics

-Laboratory animals, species, strains and their applications.

-Handling and housing of laboratory animals.

-Biology and well-being of laboratory animals; ethics in laboratory animal science.

-Experimental design; experimental procedures; optimizing possible outputs.

-Chronic and degenerative pathologies including inflammatory and menopause-related conditions,

-Models for studying neurosciences including neuroimunoendocrinology.

-Animal models of cancer.

-Translational medicine, biomaterials, pharmacology and toxicology.

 

Evaluation

Students will be required to study and publicly present a research paper pertinent for the discipline, selected by the discipline's coordinator. Grades will be attributed on the basis of the presentation's thoroughness, scientific rigor and communication efficacy.
