The entire course in Laboratory Animal Science consists of two modules of 40 hours each. The first part is obligatory for all PhD students working with laboratory animals during their PhD (course FELASA B). The second module includes more specialised material and can be followed by PhD students who wish to obtain a certificate of ‘expert laboratory animal leader’ (proefdierleider) (course FELASA C which comprises 80 hours in total). Module I is given as an optional course in the training ‘Master in Biomedical Sciences’ (can also be followed by other KULeuven students). Module II is organized as a module within the 'Doctoral School Biomedical Sciences as well as within the Leuven Arenberg Doctoral School ((in program: Generic and transferable skills development) . The course can also be followed as part of the doctoral training program by students of the Group Human Sciences and is as such interuniversity oriented. Module II ends with an exam consisting of a group assignment, resulting in a project writing and a collaborative presentation. The module II course aims at obtaining an advanced knowledge of careful and justified use of laboratory animals in biomedical research, according to the Belgian and European legislation, and highlights on the biology of various laboratory animals, housing, transport, feeding, pathology, sanitary risks, general management, alternatives to animal use, immunology and pharmacokinetics in animal research, use of viruses in laboratory animals, radioprotection and bio-safety, etc. The course also includes the use of laboratory animals as models to study developmental biology, cardiovascular biology, neurobiology, oncology, foetal surgery, inflammation, transplantation, etc., and will highlight the use of some recently developed non-invasive technologies in laboratory animals.
