Sigma-Aldrich to create genetically modified rats in new lab
Hoping to grab a slice of the $1 billion lab animal industry, Sigma-Aldrich has opened a new lab that focuses on developing a new generation of genetically engineered rodents to further research into human disease and drug discovery. The dozen scientists at the new, multi-million-dollar Sigma Advanced Genetic Engineering lab in St. Louis will initially create rat models with a focus in toxicology, neuroscience, cardiovascular and inflammatory disease using technology Sigma-Aldrich created and touted in a paper published in Science magazine last month.
