Shared Resource Co-Director, Experimental Mouse
Director, GEM Core

Molecular biology has always been my passion and area of expertise. Since I started working at the Genetically Engineered Models (GEM) Core in 2007, I have had the opportunity to enhance my skills in molecular genetics while contributing to a field that is crucial for medical research. I am well-qualified to provide state-of-the-art gene modeling for mice and cancer cell lines, catering to both current and potential core customers. I can offer designs for nearly any type of genetic modification using various genetic engineering techniques, including transgenesis and the cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 technology. 

Cancer Focus

Since its inception in 2007, 20% of the GEM Production Unit's work has been dedicated to supporting members of the Cancer Center in collaboration with the EMSR’s Mouse Production Unit. We successfully provide these members with optimal design strategies for their research models and produce high-quality, efficiently generated gene-modified mice and cancer cell lines. Additionally, we offer guidance and troubleshooting assistance for genotyping and colony breeding challenges.
