Events in August, 2016
Aug. 4 - 6, 2016
Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Disease (KUH) Summer Undergraduate Research Conference
This meeting is the culminating experience for the undergraduate participants sponsored by the Division of Kidney, Urologic and Hematologic Diseases Summer Research Program. The conference will bring all the students together to share their research accomplishments, network with peers and distinguished faculty, and receive timely career development advice. This added exposure to professional and scientific opportunities in renal, urologic, and hematologic diseases will entice undergraduates to continue their medical or graduate careers in areas within the research mission of the Division.?????
Location: Rochester, MN, USA

JAX Webinar: Reproductive Biology of Mice
To manage your mouse colonies efficiently, you need a solid understanding of mouse reproductive biology. In this webinar, you will learn about the following topics: (1) Basic mouse reproductive anatomy and how you can determine the gender of mice at all ages (2) How pregnancy relates to reproductive states and the estrus cycle (3) How to optimize biological and environmental conditions and maximize breeding performance (4) How to troubleshoot breeding problems of challenging strainsMore information: https://www.jax.org/education-and-learning/education-calendar/webinars/2016/082016/reproductive-biology-of-mice

JAX Webinar: Humanized NSG Mice For Innovative Preclinical Research
The NOD scid gamma mouse uniquely supports the engraftment of human hematopoietic cells, enabling the creation of “humanized” NSG™ (hu-NSG™) mice. These mice serve as the state-of-the art platform for studying immunobiology, infectious diseases, graft-versus-host disease, and transplantation.

2016 Vanderbilt Mouse Kidney Injury Workshop
This is a hands-on, practical training course designed to teach surgical and phenotyping techniques for commonly used mouse renal injury models, including ischemia/reperfusion (IR), UUO, 5/6 nephrectomy and the cecal ligation and puncture model of AKI. A panel of experts has been assembled to teach basic animal handling, drug administration, tissue and blood sampling techniques (Day 1), tissue harvesting and analyses (Day 2) and mouse surgery technique (Day 3-5) with lectures, training videos, practical demonstrations and hands-on practical training techniques. By completion participants will be sufficiently familiar with practical procedures to be able to set up the models in their own labs. There is no other practical workshop like this anywhere!
Location: Nashville, TN, USA

MD2K Webinar: ResearchStack: Building a Cross-Platform Mobile Research Study in 30 Minutes!
MD2K will sponsor a ResearchStack: Building a Cross-Platform Mobile Research Study in 30 Minutes! presented by ResearchStack project manager Michael Carroll, also a Technologist in Residence in the Small Data Lab at Cornell University and CTO of the eConsult startup RubiconMD. ResearchKit (Apple) and ResearchStack (Android) are open source frameworks for researchers to inform and consent patients, and to collect personal health data from participants in trials. Carroll's presentation will cover the basics about these platforms: how they work, why they matter to researchers and app developers, and how users can build their own prototype study on both Apple and Android without any background in programming.
