The ARMIRat Project – Generating new rat models to study Hypertension and Cardiac Disease
The ARMIRat Project is an academic collaboration between researchers at
the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute and at the University of
Southern California (USC) to develop technology in advanced conditional
mutagenesis and animal modeling.
The initial rat models to be generated will focus on two clinically
relevant models: hypertension and cardiac disease. Once the technology
is established, collaboration with other groups will lead to new rat
models to study other diseases.
You are invited to join this special event, where world-leading speakers
will be presenting on the development and production of rat conditional
gene knockouts.
Featured Topics:
•Rat inbred strains for gene knockout production.
•Selection of genes and strategies for conditional knockout production.
•Rat ES cell development, culture and genetic manipulation: current challenges and future prospects.
•Rat animal husbandry, reproductive biology, blastocyst manipulation.
•A Cre driver Zoo for rats.
