ANAT2341 Lab 2 2013
Introduction To Group Projects
"Using mouse models to understand human genetic disease and developmental abnormalities"
This series of practicals has been designed to complement the lecture material by providing an opportunity to examine human embryology in the context of modern medical research aimed at understanding the cellular and molecular basis of human developmental abnormalities that are caused by genetic mutations. Since students may have a variable understanding of human genetics, mouse model development and cellular and molecular analytical techniques, each laboratory will provide tutorials on these topics and make use of a series of examples to support the research process as it progresses.
Objectives of this laboratory
- First short answer/ multiple choice test of last week's lecture material
- Describe the group project process and assessment procedure
- Tutorial on an example of usage of mouse models to understand human genetic abnormalities - Williams-Beuren Syndrome
- Provide time for the formation of groups and begin selection of the group project topic
The laboratories for this 2013 Embryology course support the lecture material by reviewing the content of the previous week using short answer questions and multiple choice tests to ensure that the material is understood and students are staying up to speed.
