Course Description: Oocyte Pre-implantation Embryo Molecular Biology The Primate Embryo Gene Expression Resource (www.preger.org) is pleased to start from August 7th -August 17th,2011 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 :

 

 

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.

Our Approach

The course provides on-hands laboratory training in dealing with very small samples or samples of limited availability, methods for RNA extraction and amplification, expression analysis using gene arrays or other methods, proteomics analysis, laser capture micro-dissection, and other current molecular methods.  The course also incorporates 26 h of lecture related to the underlying theory and practical application of these methods
