Gale Lab is partnering with Dr. Ralph Baric and Dr. Mark Heise of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and others, to develop new, genetically defined mouse models to mechanistically define the role of specific polymorphic genes and sets of genes in differentially regulating targeted immune responses.
