Webinar: Investigating Inflammatory Disease using Humanized Cytokine Mice
Our webinar “Investigating Inflammatory Disease using Humanized Cytokine Mice” was live on Dec 1, 2021 at 1PM.
In this webinar, we will:
– Review the range of cytokines associated with various autoimmune and allergy related diseases
– Describe some of the inflammatory disease models we have developed including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis
– Introduce various humanized cytokine mouse models that can be used in disease modeling
– Detail some of the typical readouts for these models and discuss validation data our teams have produced in these models
About the Speaker & Panelists
Speaker:
Clarke Gasper, Ph.D.
Senior Business Development Manager, Biocytogen Boston
Dr. Clarke Gasper’s research experience ranges from protein biochemistry and structural biology to antibody production and small molecule drug development. He began his research at San Diego State University working on the myosin chaperone protein UNC-45. He then went on to Caltech, where he was part of the NIH ENCODE research consortium managing their transcription factor antibody production pipeline and developed a fully automated chromatin immunoprecipitation assay for identifying transcription factor binding sites in the human genome. He went on to receive his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Boston University where he helped identify several small-molecules, lead candidates for treating diabetes and obesity. After 13 years in scientific research, he has joined Biocytogen, where he is currently a senior business development manager.
