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 and legal dispositions regarding the use of laboratory animals will be emphasized.

 

Venue

All classes will be held online via Google meet, Monday to Friday, following recommendations for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Links for attending each class will be provided by the discipline's coordinator. Adjustments to the time table may be required by invited lecturers and will be announced in advance. Recorded classes will be made available for studying.

 

Main topics

-Ethics in laboratory animal science, handling, housing and routine procedures. Biology and well-being of laboratory animals. Relevant legislation.

-Practical knowledge of animal handling, housing and experimental procedures.

-Specific training in techniques and procedures relevant for PPGSAD research lines, including:

-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.
