During the masterclass on EthoVision, Dr. Aleksandra Badura (Erasmus MC) will guide us through her research, and why she uses EthoVision for measuring social interactions.

After this Romain Hollands will give a live demo of the newly released EthoVision 19. This new version includes new social parameters and an improved identification speed.

Here's what you will learn:

  • Practical tips for handling mice and using LiveMouseTracker
  • How to use social chambers in your research
  • How Aleksandra quantifies social behaviors

Dr. Aleksandra Badura, Associate professor at Erasmus MC department of neuroscience

My research focuses on how cerebellar structure and function contribute to autism, combining insights from human studies and disease-relevant mouse models. In my lab, we use advanced animal tracking and systems neuroscience approaches to objectively capture subtle behavioral features and link them to circuit-level and whole-brain changes. Through collaborative networks such as PIPgen and the SCANNER consortium, my work aims to improve the translational value of animal models and deepen our understanding of mechanisms underlying autism.
