“Gene Targeting in the Rat? Cut it out!”

Michael N. Gould, PhD, obtained his doctoral degree in Radiological Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he joined the faculty following a brief postdoc at Argonne National Laboratory. Currently, he is Professor of Oncology at the McArdle Lab for Cancer Research, where his lab has been focusing on employing genetic rat models to study the molecular biology of mammary carcinogenesis. His lab has broad experience in generating traditional transgenic rat models. In 2003, his lab reported on the first gene knockout rat models, produced via ENU mutagenesis.
