I have a tumor...

In my mice. Tons of tumors actually. This is HUGE news! After 5 years of breeding and planning, the mice are developing brain tumors in 11 weeks! And I came aboard at the tail end of it to reap the benefits. :D Of course this means I've got tons and tons of work to do coming up, but it'll all pay off.

Actually, I make mice sick, and then they die from it.

To study any illness, it's best to have an animal model for multiple reasons. The main reason is that we can't run test on humans, it's unethical, way too costly, and takes too much time. With mice, we can specifically target genes of interest ( ... )
