UPCOMING MEETINGS, COURSES AND WORKSHOPS

Virtual workshop on "Cryopreservation and Other Preservation Approaches for Animal Models," organized by the NIH Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP). This workshop will be held as a series of virtual sessions starting September 6, 2024, and will continue into 2025. This workshop offers a valuable platform for experts to discuss the needs and challenges of cryopreservation and other preservation approaches for widely used animal models in biomedical research. The focus will be on current and emerging technologies aimed at advancing the preservation, maintenance, and sharing of these essential models, ultimately enhancing the infrastructure that supports groundbreaking research. The event is free to attend. You can register for specific sessions or the entire series at the following link: https://www.scgcorp.com/Cryopreservation2024/Default

The first-ever Midwest CRISPR Animal Modeling Symposium (M-CAMS) will be hosted by the Purdue Institute for Cancer Research – Transgenic and Genome Editing Facility (TGEF) and held in West Lafayette, Indiana on October 11, 2024.   Talks by some of our most beloved and “seasoned” ISTT members – Thom Saunders, Guru, Elizabeth Bryda, Daniel Davis and more; a lunchtime workshop on designing an animal model; and then an afternoon just for us to talk tech! We will look at all of our standard protocols – superovulation, microinjection, electroporation of zygotes, AAVs, embryo transfer, sperm cryo, embryo cryo, IVF, rederivation, ICSI, RATS!…Register online

 PAST MEETINGS
 
Vienna Cryo & Embryo Transfer Course at the Institute of In-vivo and In-vitro Models at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna. A comprehensive course on cryopreservation, embryo transfer and other methods of assisted reproduction in mice. The course is intended to give technicians and scientists state-of-the-art background knowledge and hands-on training in the methods routinely used at the Vetmeduni Vienna. September 02 - 06, 2024.

The Texas A&M University Genome Editing Symposium, October 13, 2023 An annual symposium organized entirely by graduate students with a keen interest in genome editing technologies. We are encouraging applications from graduate students at U.S. institutions conducting research in genome editing, which may include, but is not limited to, basic research in sequence-specific nucleases, delivery method optimization, gene function analysis, and crop improvement, across the tree of life. The speakers will include Dr. Thom Saunders, Dr. Jeffrey Barrick, Dr. Matthew Burg, and Dr. Washington da Silva.
