Animal modeling has played a prominent role in traditional scientific research for hundreds of years. More recently, inbred strains have been developed to support genetically modified models – sometimes called the “living reagents” or “living instruments” of biomedical and health research. Additionally, gene-edited animal models are widely adopted by drug R&D companies, scientific research institutions, and laboratories worldwide in analyzing the function of disease-related genes, studying signaling pathways, identifying drug targets, screening new drugs, and more.

Expert Webinar: Topics in Genetically Engineered Murine Models
Cyagen’s exclusive webinar, titled “Platform for Rapid Generation of Genetically Engineered Mouse/Rat Models,” introduces the techniques used to produce genetically engineered models. This webinar is presented by Cyagen’s Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Marvin Ouyang, who has over 20 years of dedicated experience developing custom rodent models.
Dr. Marvin Ouyang has been dedicated to the development of genetically engineered rodent models for the past 20 years, developing hundreds of transgenic and KO/KI mouse/rat models for biomedical research and drug development. Previously, he served as the senior scientist of Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), a scientist for U.S.-based Thios Pharmaceuticals, and worked for Taconic Biosciences as the leader of the Molecular Biology Department. So far, he has published many papers in high-impact academic journals such as PNAS and JBC. Technical services developed by Dr. Ouyang have been directly cited hundreds of times by top international journals, including Nature.
Main Topics:
● Strategies and methods of different gene-editing technologies
● Generation of transgenic mice by pronuclear injection (PNI)
● Homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells
● Comparison of Gene Targeting (GT) and pronuclear injection (PNI)
● Nuclease-induced genome editing – Applications of CRISPR
● Pros and cons of CRISPR-Pro-mediated Genome Editing
● TurboKnockout® - Accelerating ES Cell Gene Targeting
