Taconic Farms, Inc. And U Albany Share $4.2 Million National Institutes Of Health Grant
2000 May
Announcement that Taconic Farms, Inc. and UAlbany shared $4.2 million, five-year National Institutes of Health grant to establish a Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center (MMRRC) to study "the genetic background and phenotypic behaviors of mice with targeted gene mutations." Research will be at the University's Center for the Study of Comparative Functional Genomics at the East Campus. Paulette J. McCormick of the Department of Biological Sciences and James G. Geistfeld of Taconic are the co-principal investigators. The MMRRC will use "microarray analysis" which will allow them to study patterns of genes rather than single genes, a major step in understanding mutations.
