Technical Name Production of zebrafish disease models for anti-aging drug screen by genome editing
Project Operator Chung Yuan Christian University
Project Host 蕭崇德
Summary
Our research team has been working on the research project related to progeroid syndrome and successfully established the first zebrafish disease model simulating the human progeroid syndrome with deficiency of pycr1 gene.  The establishment of the zebrafish progeroid model be beneficial to applications in academic and clinical research. In the future this model can serve to study the progeroid syndrome related mechanism and assist us in screening the therapeutic drugs.
