The Science of Drug Abuse and Addiction from the National Institute on Drug Abuse

The purpose of this symposium is to familiarize the neuroscience community with new approaches in mouse genetics. These new approaches now make it possible to positionally clone mutations without any knowledge of the underlying biological process; identify modifier genes; control the place and time where a mutation is expressed; and create new animal models of complex genetic diseases.

Speakers

Andrew Peterson, Ph. D., Duke University
Mutagenesis approaches for studying forebrain development and function

Bruce A. Hamilton, Ph. D., UCSD, School of Medicine
Genetic dissection of a neurodegeneration pathway

Guangbin Luo, Ph. D., Baylor College of Medicine
Transposon tagged mutagenesis in mice

Rene Hen, Ph. D., Columbia University
Tissue specific and inducible knockouts of 5HT receptor: models of psychiatric disorders

Karen Moore, Ph. D., Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Theoretical and empirical issues for marker assisted breeding of congenic mouse strains

Eddy Rubin, M.D., Ph. D., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
