The workshop on “Modeling Tumor Biology Using Mouse and Zebrafish” joint collaborative initiative by the “Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB), Faridabad, and Indian Cancer Genome Atlas (ICGA)”, aimed at providing students with comprehensive exposure to preclinical animal models used in cancer research.

The workshop will feature a series of expert lectures covering key aspects of cancer research using animal models, including ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks in animal experimentation, the application of mouse models in cancer research, and the use of zebrafish models for studying tumour biology and cancer metastasis. These sessions will introduce participants to the scientific rationale and experimental applications of different preclinical model systems.

A key highlight of the workshop will be its hands-on training sessions, through these practical demonstrations, participants will gain insights into essential animal handling techniques, model-specific experimental approaches, and their applications in cancer research.

The workshop aims to foster an environment of knowledge exchange, scientific curiosity, and collaborative learning, bringing together students and experts to discuss the evolving landscape of preclinical cancer research.
