It’s a go for launch! Our mutant screen in neonate mice for genes critical to protective respiratory reflexes is fully funded (#R01HL161142). Great work by everyone in the lab, especially Chris Ward and Eunice Aissi for their efforts in building our neonate phenotyping platform, making this exciting new direction in the lab possible.
The lab recently submitted an RO1 grant with the aim of utilizing a recently developed automated closed loop neonate respiratory assessment platform to screen mouse mutants from the BCM KOMP effort. KOMP, or the Knockout Mouse Project is an international effort to mutate and broadly phenotype every gene in the mouse genome. The grant will…
The lab successfully renewed their first R01 (on the first submission!) and was recently awarded a $3 Million NIH Grant to continue their study of the central noradrenergic system in breathing and its potential roles in SIDS and Rett Syndrome for another five years. The first grant has a been a resounding success by establishing a foundational map…
