Teodora Georgieva, PhD

Shared Resource Co-Director, Experimental Mouse
Director, GEMM

Molecular biology has always been my passion and expertise. Since I began my work 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 highly relevant to medical research. I am well-qualified to provide state-of-the-art mouse and cell line gene modeling for both current and potential core customers. I can offer designs for nearly any type of genetic modification using a variety of genetic engineering techniques, including transgenesis, gene targeting, and the latest cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 technology.

Cancer Focus

Since its inception in 2007, 20% of the GEMM Core's work has been dedicated to supporting Cancer Center members in collaboration with the EMSR's Mouse Production Unit. We successfully provide Cancer Center 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.
