Description

In vivo studies are critical components of translational medicine and drug development. In vivo studies are performed for testing the efficacy of a drug, its safety, knowledge about target engagement etc. Different methods are used for testing these parameters and one of the most important methods is evaluating tissue responses using different histopathology techniques. Current course will discuss in detail the response of rodent and other animal models of human diseases and evaluation of the tissues using staining methods, quantification of the responses using image analysis, tissue biomarkers for precision medicine etc. The course also provides insights into the regulatory process for approval of drugs.
