Innovative Education in Biomedical Research: The Interdisciplinary Approach of MorphoPHEN
In this episode of the Research Forward podcast, host David Mayo interviews Professor Livia D'Angelo, the driving force behind the MorphoPHEN program. MorphoPHEN is a collaborative master's program involving four leading European universities, aimed at training experts in mouse phenotyping to advance our understanding of human diseases. Professor D'Angelo discusses the interdisciplinary nature of the program, which integrates anatomy, pathology, imaging, and deep learning to provide a comprehensive education in mouse model research.
The conversation delves into the origins of MorphoPHEN, highlighting the need for standardized training in mouse phenotyping due to the increasing complexity of genetic modifications in research. Professor D'Angelo shares her journey from veterinary studies to leading this innovative program, emphasizing the importance of proper animal care and the ethical considerations in research.
They also explore the practical applications of the program, including the use of virtual microscopy and digital pathology to reduce the number of animals used in research. The episode concludes with insights into the future of MorphoPHEN, including potential expansions and the integration of organoid research. This episode offers a detailed look at how MorphoPHEN is shaping the future of biomedical research and education.
