In vitro and in vivo model systems for human diseases modeling

The purpose of this course is to train the students in the field of innovative models for human diseases ranging from in vitro to in vivo models. The course will emphasize the strengths, limitations, and applications of each model system, as well as their relevance to translational research and clinical practice.

The course is divided into two distinct modules:
1. Creating in vivo models of human diseases
2. Creating patient-derived experimental disease models

At the end of the course, students are expected to acquire knowledge of the experimental disease models in biomedical research and the advantages and pitfalls of each approach. Students will learn the principles, methodologies, applications, and pitfalls of the presented models, and will gain a better understanding of the ethical challenges associated with their applications.
