On behalf of the BSTP, I hope that you, your family and colleagues are still managing to stay well. During these unusual times where F2F events have not been able to have been held, the BSTP have been looking at ways to ensure that they can continue to organise CPD events, whilst maintaining the safety requirements imposed by national governments. So, we are pleased to let you know that from October 2020, the BSTP will start hosting remote meetings using Zoom.
Information about these webinars are also available on http://www.bstp.org.uk/bstp-webinars/ with detailed information also available in the members only area of the BSTP website.

The 36th Annual Scientific Meeting of the BSTP
Pathology of Humanised Mouse Models
Thursday 11th and Friday 12th November 2021
Date and venue to be confirmed
Immunodeficient mice reconstituted with a human immune system are increasingly used for modelling the human immune compartment in numerous preclinical applications, such as adoptive cell therapy and immuno-oncology studies. With the advent of new Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products, humanised mice are a key component of efficacy and safety assessment in preclinical programmes, including GLP studies. However, limited information is available concerning the morphological aspects of human cell engraftment and the spectrum of spontaneous and experimentally induced histopathological lesions occurring in these mice.
Working with the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland the meeting will cover the main features of the different humanised mouse platforms; their experimental applications in drug development, oncology and gene and cell therapies; specific safety and regulatory considerations; and future promise and remaining challenges. A short session will be also devoted to chimeric mice with humanised livers, as tools for the study of human drug metabolism and toxicity. The aim is also to have parallel sessions covering ‘mouse pathology’ and ‘humanised mice in preclinical studies: context and regulatory aspects’.
The first day of the meeting will include the Annual General Meeting of the BSTP.
Keep checking the website for details of bursaries and the submission of abstracts for case presentations.
