PREGER is an online resource with integrated system of methods, cDNA libraries etc 
Course Description: Oocyte Pre-implantation Embryo Molecular Biology The Primate Embryo Gene Expression Resource (www.preger.org) is pleased to start from August 8th -August 19th,2010 a Laboratory Training course dedicated to advancing the study of molecular mechanisms controlling
mammalian oogenesis and preimplantation embryogenesis. The goal of the two-week course
is to provide hands-on training in state-of-the-art molecular techniques applicable to oocytes
and early embryos of any mammalian species. As part of the overall PREGER mission of
advancing non-human primate oocyte and embryo biology, we especially encourage
applications from those interested in incorporating non-human primate model species into
their research programs for broader basic, applied, and clinical impact..
Learning Objectives :
- Master techniques of mRNA isolation and amplification, transcriptome and genome analysis, proteomics analysis, oocyte/embryo imaging and molecular characterization of oocytes, embryos, and stem cells
- Understand the challenges related to refining and advancing assisted reproduction in humans and animals
Intended Audience :
- Provide basic, applied, and clinical scientists with hands-on training in state-of-the-art molecular biology methods applicable to oocytes, embryos, or any other cell type in support of basic research
-
Research to improve effectiveness of assisted reproduction methods, and any other area of clinical practice that requires the identification of novel molecular mechanisms underlying disease, allowing those mechanisms to be targeted for therapy.
