C MED 407 The Basic Biology of the Mouse - Its Application in Model Development and Translational Research (1, max.20) Brabb,Grossman,Treuting
The goal of this class is to introduce students to methods of experimental design and appropriate use of mice in biomedical research with a focus on the use of mice in translational research. This will be accomplished using a format of lectures and problem-based learning (PBL) exercises taught by a team of scientists from both academia and industry with expertise in a variety of disciplines.
