Aged Alzheimer's disease models
The Jackson Laboratory's Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model Resource offers several models that develop Alzheimer's-related characteristics as they age.
Important resources for Alzheimer's disease research
The Jackson Laboratory has appointed a special research administrator for Alzheimer's disease (AD) to enhance the distribution of mouse models from the Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model Resource (ADMMR). Dr. Michael Sasner will serve as a resource for scientists seeking information about existing models, and also oversee the selection, importation, and distribution of new AD models.
Dr. Sasner, who has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Connecticut, has been at The Jackson Laboratory since 1998. Scientists with questions or information about potential new strains for distribution can reach Dr. Sasner at mike.sasner@jax.org.
