Session Vi: Animal Models Course Materials

SESSION VI: Animal Models Joseph Buxbaum July 23, 2015 // 12:00 pm EST Course Materials The purpose of these materials is to help provide an introduction to the Summer Institute session on animal models. The materials were designed to prepare trainees who are unfamiliar with research using animal models with the general background to get the most educational benefit from Dr. Buxbaum’s presentation. Toward this objective, we have prepared the following: (1) learning objectives for this session; (2) some key terms and concepts to become familiar with different methods of animal models research; (3) some broad review articles that are recommended reading. These materials could be considered “prerequisites” in preparing for Dr. Buxbaum’s presentation. In collaboration with Dr. Buxbaum, these materials were developed by the trainee group for this session: Allison Anacker (postdoc at Columbia; [email protected]); Hala HaronyNicolas (Instructor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; [email protected]); Matt Judson (postdoc at UNC; [email protected]); Ashley Stevens (doctoral candidate at University of Utah; [email protected]).
