Phenotype Screens for Mice Developing an Integrated Platform Programme Scientific Committee

The Eumorphia Summer School / EMBO Lecture Course (ESS/ELC) will be a highlyinteractive lecture course with as its primary mission the training and education ofscientists for the use of mouse models of human disease. This summer school willprovide a solid theoretical basis that students and fellows will need forexperimentation in the area of mouse functional genomics. The ESS/ELC will instructyoung scientists in most aspects of mouse genetics, genomics, and physiology. It isthe more theoretical complement of several more focused and specialized practicalmouse training courses that are organized at various Eumorphia and EMBO centres,though for the future a practical dimension is foreseen as an addition to subsequentEumorphia Schools. In combination, this two-level training will enable scientists togain expertise in mouse functional genomics within a relatively restricted time-frame.
