Course Objective & Description

The objective of this STP Modular Education Course on the Toxicologic Pathology of Special Senses is to educate individuals in the principles of toxicology and pathology of the special senses, focusing on the pathologic evaluation of the ocular and otic systems. Attendees will gain a solid understanding of the normal anatomy and histology of the eye and associated structures, including both theory and practical classes of current accepted terminology through GoRENI, rodent and non-rodent ocular and otic pathology, physiology and function, study requirements to assess ocular and otic toxicity, as well as discussion of gene and cell-based therapies in the eye and ear.

This STP Modular Education Course will bring together attendees and subject experts for didactic lectures and practical sessions including whole-slide digital images and data sets. The course will run for 2.5 days with up-to-date training in an environment that facilitates an intensive learning experience.

Sessions will cover:
Comparative Anatomy of the Eye; • Physiology of the Eye and Ocular Structures of Laboratory Animals; • In Life Ocular Assessments, Modalities, and Clinical Observations; • INHAND Evaluation and Pathology of the Cornea, Lens, and Anterior Segment; • INHAND Evaluation and Pathology of the Posterior Segment; • INHAND Adnexa and Periocular Structures; • Ocular Therapies; • Comparative Anatomy and Histology of the Ear; • Physiology and in Vivo Assessment of the Ear; • Histological Preparation of the Ear; • Pathology of the External/Middle Ear and Peri-Otic Structures; • Pathology of the Inner Ear; • Case Studies, and More.
