On behalf of our animal model experts, we invite you to request a Cyagen One-on-One Webinar!

Animal modeling has a played a prominent role in traditional scientific research for hundreds of years, and more recently, inbred strains have been developed to support genetically modified models for applications in biomedical and health research. Additionally, gene-edited animal models are widely adopted by drug R&D companies, scientific research institutions, and laboratories worldwide in analyzing the function of disease-related genes, studying signaling pathways, identifying drug targets, screening new drugs, and more.

With these webinar opportunities, Cyagen’s expert team will comprehensively explain the cutting-edge technology, academic hotspots, and application limitations of animal models - such as genetically modified, humanized, and immunodeficient mice - from various perspectives, as we aim to exchange and share valuable experiences with you and your team.

If you would like to request a specific topic for our Webinar series, please fill out the form and we will contact you to arrange the details.

Lecturer
Dr. Rongli Zhang
Chief Scientist of Cyagen Surgical Disease Models
Dr. Rongli Zhang has more than 20 years of experience in creating mouse surgical models. Prior to Cyagen, Dr. Zhang was employed by China Academy of Chinese Medical Science (CACMS), Tsinghua University (THU), Peking University (PKU) and other internationally renowned academic institutions after earning his PhD. Since 2011, he has worked in Case Western Reserve University in the U.S. as both a research scientist and as director of the Cardiovascular Physiology Laboratory, where he leads the discovery of disease phenotypes in genetically engineered animals and preclinical drug development. In addition, he has done many preclinical pharmacology studies for domestic and worldwide pharmaceutical enterprises - helping these companies achieve successful product launches. Dr. Zhang has finished 10 projects during his work in China and took part in multiple fund programs in the U.S. supported by both the NIH (National Institutes of Health) and AHA (American Heart Association). He has 60 publications in SCI journals, with many articles published in high-impact academic journals (such as Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Circulation, Cell, Nature Communications, and Science Translational Medicine).
