Research Focus
Anne E. Kwitek's lab focuses on the Rat Genome Database, which is a comprehensive resource for genomic data connected to rat models of human diseases. The lab aims to integrate various types of genetic and biological data to enhance understanding of complex diseases that affect humans. By collaborating with other labs and institutions, they work on developing new genomic resources and tools to facilitate research that can bridge the knowledge gaps between rat studies and human health.
