It has a state-of-the-art laboratory space in an exciting academic environment. So, visiting EMBL will create me a chance to attend EMBO Practical Course: Humanized Mice in Biomedicine: Challenges and Innovations to be held in EMBL Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg, Germany from 3 – 8 November, 2019.
This practical course will be given by scientists on the area and it includes lectures, lab activities using humanized mice: isolation of cells and tissues, analysis of cell panels by flow cytometry, as well as histological and molecular analyses. In addition, the value and impact of these models on the biology and therapy of cancers will be discussed.
Importantly, my PhD work has involved the use of physiologically relevant orthotopic in vivo models, and isolation and preparation of tissues for physiologically relevant models (i.e. PDX). Specifically, I have to use these models to assess a novel therapeutic approach to inhibit the bi-directional oncogenic cross-talk between cancer cells and the surrounding stroma in pancreatic cancer. This presents a novel approach to pancreatic cancer treatment that can potentially overcome the major problems attributed to desmoplasia, including therapeutic resistance and metastasis.
So, it is a practical specialty that fulfils my considerable interest in in vivo animal model through practical training on in vivo modelling using patient-derived xenografts (PDX) of solid tumours. It will undoubtedly take my in vivo mice study skill to the next level. Thus, it will provide me with an extremely valuable opportunity to support my PhD research and prepares me for future career as an international researcher on in vivo mice model.
It will also serve as an ideal platform for me to meet and potentially establish collaborations with experts in this area of research, which is directly relevant to my PhD study. Overall, attending this practical course will provide me with an extremely valuable opportunity to support my PhD research and also foster my development as an international researcher, preparing me for a successful future career.
As an international student at the University of Sydney, my PhD scholarship does not cover any expenses related to travel and conference or course attendance. Hence, this travel fund would be of tremendous assistance in terms of covering my registration costs, accommodation and travel expenses, which are high as I will be travelling from Australia. | Individual funding |

I focus on a cell type that under normal conditions support our pain-sensing nerve cells but are proposed to contribute to the painful sensation that follows physical injury or chemotherapy treatment.
By investigating the response in this cell type following physical injury or chemotherapy, we will come one step closer to understanding how nerve cells in some cases are affected to signal more intense or chronic pain.
Animal Experiments are essential for investigating my questions at hand, and often require a surgical procedure on the sciatic nerve to evoke neuropathic pain in the laboratory animal. When I perform this procedure, it is crucial that I excel, to minimize suffering in the experimental animal. Therefore, I apply for funding to participate in Ph.D. courses to develop my skills in experimental surgery. | Individual funding |

This may be because the experiments are incorrectly designed. In “Completely randomized” (CR) and “Randomised block” (RB) experimental designs, both the assignment of treatments to experimental subjects and the order in which the experiment is done, are randomly determined. These designs have been used successfully in agricultural and industrial research and in clinical trials for nearly a century without excessive levels of irreproducibility. They must also be used in pre-clinical research if the excessive level of irreproducibility is to be eliminated.A survey of 100 papers involving mice and rats was used to determine whether scientists had used the CR or RB designs. The papers were assigned to three categories “Design acceptable”, “Randomised to treatment groups”, so of doubtful validity, or “Room for improvement”. Only 32±4.7% of the papers fell into the first group, although none of them actually named either the CR or RB design.If the current high level of irreproducibility is to be eliminated, it is essential that scientists engaged in pre-clinical research use “Completely randomised” (CR), “Randomised block” (RB), or one of the more specialised named experimental designs described in textbooks on the subject." | Individual funding |

During this talk I will present the findings of an experiment I carried out during my PhD which I successfully completed in June 2018. In this experiment we investigated the effects of sanitizing gloves with alcohol before handling mice on mouse welfare behavioural indicators. We observed mice before and after handling them with nitrile gloves thatwere sprayed with 70% Ethanol or that were not sprayed with anything. Additionally, we assessed how these handling methods affected home cage behaviour. The increased wall rearing displayed by both strains and the defensive burying performed by C57BL/6J mice during the anticipation of handling when alcohol was present suggested that mice perceived this scent as threatening or aversive. It is paramount to share these results with those working with laboratory mice to raise awareness of this issue and to encourage looking for less aversive hand sanitising methods and. | Events and conferences |

Veterinarians are well equipped to support, organise and supervise better animal research, e.g. by implementing ARRIVE guidelines and thus improve its reproducibility. Institutional and research veterinarians helping the design, conduct, and analysis of future animal experiments may optimise them through the application of sound experimental design and the statistics required for these common designs. By having an understanding of experimental design and statistics, the veterinarian will be contributing to improve methodological quality of animal experiments, making the choice of a particular experimental design, the required numbers of animals based on that design and the translation of animal data to the clinic more evidence-based, and implementing the 3Rs, especially reduction. Most institutional veterinarians, designated veterinarians (DVs) and veterinarians working in research, in a supporting role or being principal investigators themselves, will benefit from training on understanding the most common experimental designs and statistics applied. What is more, most institutions do not have an advisor statistician in their ethics committees. Thus, institutional veterinarians and DVs are well placed to help with the optimisation and reproducibility of experiments at their own institutions by providing some advice on experimental design and common statistics used for these designs. | Events and conferences |

1-day symposium “We have to talk about rodent surgery”, 12 June 2022, Marseille, France
Surgery is an integral part of many experimental studies. Planning must incorporate training, aseptic technique, anaesthesia and analgesia, and peri-operative care. Expert surgical practices result in measurably better outcomes and improved experimental validity.
Rodent surgery is challenging and expensive. The animals are very small and require appropriate instruments and equipment. There are many choices to make when selecting anaesthetics and analgesics in a variety of situations. Post-operative care is crucial to the animal’s health and welfare. And personnel require constant training and improvement to ensure the best possible results.
For experimental surgeons no consistent training or certification standards are applied throughout Europe and rodent surgeons often did not receive a fundamental surgical training because they are not medical scientists. Additionally, there is a clear need to increase communication in order to better promote exchange of knowledge and expertise within the surgical research community, to define standards and to develop guidelines for good surgical practice and training as well as to train experimental surgeons in a standardised and certified manner.
This one-day symposium will offer practical guidance from international experts on solutions for state-of-the-art rodent surgery. The speakers are all well-known international experts in rodent surgery and perioperative care.

However, we will provide scholarships for all those who need support.Five benefits that ExpoBioterios brings to the science of laboratory animals.1- Change of perspective: The current world situation is causing many of the scientific conferences that allow the training of personnel working in animal science to be diminished by its cancellation. EB Hybrid ensures a change in the way of developing scientific events, favoring professional growth and training of personnel working in the field of animal science.2- Receive immediate feedback: At EB Hybrid the divulgation of animal science has the advantage of being able to receive almost immediate feedback. You can participate in forums, chat with colleagues around the world, propose topics and you can quickly receive a response, a comment, advice or constructive criticism. All this quickly improves and refines the concepts and skills of the staff working in the field of the laboratory animal. You will be able to share with colleagues about your area of research, work or topics of interest.
3- Interrelationships: Leaving your animal facility to a virtual space, communicating your poster to a different audience and receiving their response, asking the speaker, all this allows creating interrelationships, both personal and between specialties, that connect the assistant with professionals from other specialties.
4- Posters: EB Hybrid attendees can present their posters, participants can easily find them through a search engine by title, subject or author. You can see the full image, or the summary or summary of the free work. In addition, they can leave comments to contact the main author. This will allow scientific divulgation in the region to continue at a good pace, even during a pandemic.
5- Commercial promoter of the region: EB Hybrid will have a trade show area at the height of any international event. This allows reactivating the commercial sector related to animal science. | Events and conferences |

The members of the Working Group, Klas Abelson (Convenor), Tereasa De La Cueva, Friedemann Pohlig, Delphine Grézel, Vasileios Ntafis, Ana Isabel Santos, Martin Heath, Pim Rooymans, Glyn Fisher, Charlie Chambers have written the report which was submitted to “Laboratory Animals” (LA-23-051) for publication.
FELASA working group reports must not be submitted for publication without approval of the FELASA Member Delegates (MDs). Therefore, the draft of the present report was distributed to FELASA Member Associations for revision and comments. The reviewers are experts in the field. Furthermore, the draft has also been circulated among members of EFAT for further comments and revisions.
The authors have addressed all comments made by the reviewers and FELASA MDs and the Executive Committee (EC) has approved the present version of the report.
It is mandatory that FELASA WG manuscript must published as peer reviewed scientific papers with open access CC-BY in order to reach immediately the maximum number of professionals involved in the use of laboratory animals – and to include a reprint on the FELASA website. FELASA is a no-profit organization with limited resources. The money necessary for covering open access fees of FELASA recommendations will reduce the reserves for other tasks. This specific action is fully coincident with the aims of Laboratory Animals Limited to promote education and training in laboratory animal science, medicine, technology, and welfare. | Funding for other projects |

We will design and create audiovisual tutorials to teach several techniques in modern neuroscience research, including viral strategy approaches, live brain tissue preparations, and multiplex imaging, which are essential and widely used in state-of-the-art science. The materials will be implemented in the MSc module in neuroscience focused on applied experimental approaches in health and disease at University College London. They will enhance the education and training of students who typically lack experience in laboratory studies and come from a wide range of backgrounds. The tutorials developed by trained researchers will promote the 3Rs, given the complex nature of techniques and breakthrough technologies used in current neuroscience; they will improve the educational process for better learning outcomes. This will help advance future-oriented neuroscience education and promote transformative practices in laboratory animal science. | Funding for other projects |

The Integrated laboratory for research and testing, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) is a central facility which is facilitating breeding and research not only from UGM but also universities around UGM and also from eastern part of Indonesia (East Java, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara). Data from the Integrated Laboratory for Research and Testing knew in the last four years (2016,2017,2018, September 2019) the number of studies using laboratory animals in total is 465 studies.The obstacles we face regarding this activity are 1) the limited ability, skills and knowledge of trainers (veterinarians and technicians); 2) Not all trainers who provide training have participated in certification or training related to LAS; 3) There is no regulation in the form of special requirements for researchers who carry out research using laboratory animals must take LAS training as a prerequisite; 4) Not all animal facilities within UGM or other universities in Yogyakarta have veterinarian attendees.To overcome the obstacles we face, we propose a 2-week course on Laboratory Animal Scince. This course will disseminate basic knowledge, skills and expertise required for such experiments. The Integrated Laboratory for Research and Testing will organizing the 2-week course of the course in collaboration with the Department of Laboratory Animal Science of Utrecht University of the Netherlands, Justus Liebig University, Germany and the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) of India. | Training courses in countries where Laboratory Animal Science is developing |

Attention to animal welfare and care, and experimental design is critical in ensuring that these animal studies translate into clinical practice. However, Africa has an extreme shortage of individuals with the knowledge and skills to care for and use research animals. This deficit is a Grand Challenge in itself, hindering the ability of Africa to undertake world-leading research to address its specific health challenges. Opportunities for education and training in research animal sciences across the continent are extremely fragmented and restricted to specific countries. Animal ethics committees are in their infancy or non-existent. There have been limited interventions, led principally by the applicants, to address this knowledge and skills Grand Challenge.
However, such training modalities can’t cover long term lagged need of the community and professionals. Therefore, setting up online training for Ethiopian as well as African scientists and biomedical graduate students has a paramount role to improve biomedical research and an ethical review process and to give proper attention to animal welfare. | Training courses in countries where Laboratory Animal Science is developing |

As lab animal technical staff and veterinarians play a central role supporting good practice and in many cases advising on good scientific research, this training event will very much contribute to improving such provision. The knowledge and training gained in the winter school will be taken away by participants and applied in each and every scientific establishment where they work, on a daily basis. In addition, many will be actively seeking opportunities to publish in scientific journals and hence the knowledge gained in the course will percolate into such publications in one way or another.
There are not many opportunities for Designated Veterinarians to train on different aspects of their role in Europe. There are just five residency programmes in Europe (http://eslav-eclam.org/eclam/training/) compared to 47 in the United States (https://www.aclam.org/education-and-training/training-programs). The European Society of Laboratory Animal Veterinarians (ESLAV) and The European College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ECLAM) are setting different forms of training and trying to cover that gap. This Winter School is one of such initiatives. Also, there are no training opportunities for laboratory animal veterinarians in Ireland.
This initiative will not only be open to veterinarians but to scientists and technical staff working with animals. | Training courses in countries where Laboratory Animal Science is developing |
