Research Focus
Dr. Jason D. Heaney's lab at Baylor College of Medicine focuses on producing and studying genetically modified mice to understand gene function and its implications for human disease. By creating mouse models with specific gene knockouts, the team conducts comprehensive phenotyping to gather data on gene roles in various biological processes. This research contributes to a global repository of information beneficial for the broader scientific community.
