The lecture and practical course ?Basics in laboratory animal science? is for persons involved in the use of animals for scientific purposes to achieve competence in the sense of animal welfare and according the German Animal Welfare Law (TierSchG §7).
The local authority (LAVES) will provide a ?certificate of exemption? only after successful attention of both theoretical and practical course.
Theoretical module:
The 2-day theoretical module ?Basics in laboratory animal science? includes following topics: Legal aspects (including national legislation), basics in anatomy and physiology of different laboratory animal species, application of substances, anesthesia, operation and perioperative care, blood collection, euthanasia, basics in genetics, nomenclature and breeding management, husbandry, labelling, health monitoring and hygienic requirements.
Learning outcome will be assessed by a written exam.
Practical module:
In the 2-day practical ?Basic Training Module? basic skills will be obtained: propaedeutics, handling (mouse, rat, guinea pig), anatomy and physiology, application and blood sample collection techniques, humane killing, sample collection, anesthesia, labelling of laboratory animals, documentation (please, bring your own lab coat with you).

Individual lab course

Lecturers of the HGNI

To be announced

This course aims to provide hands-on learning in labs with focus on specific state-of-the-art techniques that are relevant or of individual interest for the PhD student. Experienced lecturers and scientists provide the benefits of live, in-person training. Extensive training is provided by the labs.
This course thereby also stimulates cooperations among scientists between different HGNI-institutions or cooperating labs.

The students gain experience on specific state-of-the-art techniques, which are relevant for infection research. The course includes
? background knowledge about the principles of the technique
? practical hands-on-training including trouble shooting
? user examples on scientific application of the respective technique

(summer term only)

The Journal Club aims at training the participants' skills in reading and understanding current publications in the field of diagnostic veterinary pathology. It also aims at improving writing skills for their own publications. An important aim is to also increase awareness of articles relevant for the examination of the European College of Veterinary Pathology (ECVP). Memorizing the content of presented papers is highly desirable.
