#Training: Our Practical Laboratory Skills course covers basic theoretical and practical lab skills, including use of standard equipment, such as biosafety cabinets, centrifuges, pipettes, and balances We have multiple dates through the year, including 18th November:
Профиль
Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell
Профиль VivelyThe UK’s national facility for mouse genetics and the use of mouse models for the pre-clinical study of human disease
#Training: Cryopreservation allows long-term storage of embryos and sperm, providing a convenient way to preserve, protect, and transport your mouse line, as well as removing the need for continued animal breeding. Book your place on our Cryopreservation course now!
Still using Sanger for validation of genome engineering? Discover how long read sequencing transforms genome editing and gene targeting workflows. Learn from real datasets, sharpen your analysis skills for increased confidence in the quality of cellular and animal models.
Want to understand genetic drift and how to maintain integrity in both simple and complex genetically altered mouse lines? Book your place on our 3-day Mouse Genetics and Colony Management for Researchers course and join us in October!
#Training: Basic lab skills are key to high quality, reproducible research. Our Practical Laboratory Skills course covers a range of basic skills, including use of standard equipment, such as centrifuges, balances, pipettes, and fume hoods We have multiple dates scheduled, including 16th September:
#Training: Laboratory management is a subject that is often learned on the job, with limited training opportunities for those new to the role. This course is aimed at both researchers new to management and managers new to the lab setting.
Today is Be Open about Animal Research Day #BOARD26. We are committed to openness and transparency about our use of animals, so today we are sharing our recently updated annual statistics for animal use at the MLC in 2025. www.har.mrc.ac.uk/news/use-of-...
