Abstract
Led by Michael Koob, PhD, associate professor, Department of Lab Medicine and Pathology, researchers in this study will make new mouse models that precisely mimic the same ACE2 gene expression found in humans, and will partner with JAX labs to rapidly establish breeding colonies to make these models available worldwide. "We have pioneered and optimized the methods needed to conduct these gene-replacement projects, and do not know of any other lab in the world that can currently match our ability to do this work," said Koob.
