Abstract (Englisch)

An integrated approach applying phenotyping, mutagenesis, informatics to development of mouse models/understanding of human physiology/disease, focusing on the development/standardisation of primary & secondary phenotyping protocols for all body systems in the mouse underpinned by substantial networking involving working groups from EU & abroad bringing expertise to bear in the development/validation of screens We will pilot novel approaches to gene-driven mutagenesis. The programme is supported by new informatics developments within research/networking focusing on provision of tools for dissemination, acquisition & querying of phenotype data. The training programme bolsters research bringing new skills from diverse areas egveterinary & clinical medicine to mouse biology & the study of disease models, while also creating a new cadre of scientists trained in mouse genetics. EUMORPHIA prepares the EU community for future challenges re Genomes for Human Health.
