Notice of Future Meetings
Here are 7 reasons why you should attend events organised by the BSTP:
Meet the speakers face to face and benefit from their experience
Networking opportunities with your peers
Learning in a new space to increase your knowledge on the subject matter
Break out of your comfort zone to learn something new
Invest in yourself to improve your employment opportunities
Increased knowledge will help when sitting examinations
The topics covered in these events are unlikely to be repeatedContinuing Education Symposium 11: Lymphoid and Haemopoietic Systems
Tuesday 20th - Thursday 22nd March 2018
University of Cambridge, UK
Registration for this symposium is now open!
This is an intermediate level symposium covering haematology data interpretation; bone marrow cytology; flow
cytometry and immunophenotyping in preclinical immunotoxicity studies; structure, function and histology(including enhanced histopathology) of the spleen, bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes and MALT; spontaneous andinduced pathology of the lymphoid system; development of the immune system; aging of the immune system; CAR Tcells; morphologic and ICH criteria for diagnosing mouse neoplasms of the lympho-haematopoietic system; cancer
immunology and immune checkpoint inhibitors; translating immunotox data; regulatory requirements; and study
design. There will also be workshops/case presentations on lymphoid and haematopoietic system problems which
will form an important part of the symposium.
This symposium is the event for toxicological and discovery pathologists (and other scientists working with animalmodels), clinical pathologists and toxicologists as well as non-clinical regulatory scientists to learn about recent
scientific advances. As well as providing CPD for experienced members of the profession, the symposium is open tostudents/residents and those at the start of their pathology career.

CES 12: Musculoskeletal System, Skin and Mammary Gland
Tuesday 10th - Thursday 12th July 2018
Department of Pathology, Cambridge, UK
Registration for this symposium will open in February/March 2018
This is the final symposium in this series and will aim to cover an overview of bone and joint biology; bone and joint
pathology in rodents and non-rodents; animal models of joint disease, the role of inflammation in tendon disease;animals models of muscular dystrophy; pathology of the skeletal muscle in rodents and non-rodents; skin pathology
in rodents and non-rodents; dermal studies; mammary gland pathology in rodents and non-rodents; in addition tocase discussions, this symposium will also include INHAND nomenclature for bone and joints, skeletal muscle, skinand mammary gland.

33rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the BSTP
Mouse Models of Disease
15th & 16th November 2018
The BSTP's 33rd Annual Scientific Meeting (including the AGM) will cover the topic of mouse pathology.
Based on the approach of previous mouse pathology meetings organised by the Wellcome Trust, this meeting will
aim to have a mix of talks to enable those in the early stages of their career to learn about pathology basics including
terminology and necropsy; the basics of necropsy approach and sample collection; collecting and handling samples
and recording pathology data; commonly used mouse strains and common phenotypes; infectious diseases that canaffect phenotypes; planning for the unexpected - ASPA. For more experienced pathologists, the aim is to enable youto refresh your knowledge on the basics, whilst including talks on CRISPR/Cas9 technology; immuno-oncology andbiologic effects; and tissue based genetic studies.
More information on this meeting will be available on the BSTP website by the end of 2017.
