The Mouse as an Instrument for Ear Research III

Scope/Topic

Sep 18, 2008 - Sep 21, 2008 The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor ME

Building upon the success of the 2003 and 2005 meetings, this meeting provides a unique opportunity for established investigators and students to interact and exchange ideas regarding the use of new and developing technologies to study the ear of the mouse. One objective is to provide non-mouse researchers an introduction to the mouse through reviews, tutorials and hands-on workshops. Another objective is to provide state-of-the-art information to experienced investigators through research talks on new developments and special topics of current interest. Finally, meeting participants are provided an opportunity to communicate their research findings through podium and poster presentations.

Preliminary topic list:

  • Proteomics
  • RNAi application
  • Regeneration stem cell replacement
  • Electrophysiology acoustic emissions
  • Free radicals, from toxicity and noise
  • Eye movement Recordings in Mice
  • Mouse models of otitis media
  • Biomethods & Mouse Genetics
  • Emerging tools: non-invasive and new approaches to imaging
  • New ENU mutants
  • Ear development
  • KOMP and European projects
  • Brain mechanisms, central nervous system compensatory remodeling, behavioral consequences
