Korakot Nganvongpanit

Animal model which closely mimic human biology are instrumental for the understanding disease mechanisms as well as for the development of new preventive or therapeutic treatment. Classically, such animal's models have been selected from spontaneous mutants occurring in breeding colonies of laboratory animals or livestock. Today, transgenic techniques offer possibilities to change the physiology of animals and therefore to experimentally generate precise models for biomedical research such as
