Localised gene manipulation

PsyRING has expertise in state-of -the-art RNAi and lentiviral mediated gene transfer techniques, allowing gene function and dysfunction to be explored, particularly in relation to behaviour and behavioural abnormalities in psychiatric disease.

These sophisticated techniques provide a more rapid assessment than knock out/transgenic mice approaches.
