The evolution of influential mentorship and gene cloning
Dr. Teodora Georgieva and the GEMM Core Facility at the University of Arizona BIO5 Institute design models for science to advance the discovery of novel therapeutics.
The BIO5 Institute’s Amy Barber talks with one of the University’s experts in molecular biology, Dr. Teodora Georgieva, BIO5 member and director of the University of Arizona GEMM Core Facility located in the BIO5 Institute.
Dr. Georgieva's lab focuses on providing state-of-the-art in-vivo and in vitro models to customers, offering many modification designs and utilizing cutting edge technologies. She is passionate about molecular biology and has been working to design models for scientists since 2007. Her work is integral to research because it advances the discoveries of novel therapeutics, the understanding of disease, and more.
Listen in as they discuss advancing the discoveries of novel therapeutics through custom model design, the GEMM's core impact on cancer research, and the projects early in her career that kept her wanting more.
Three things you will learn in this episode:
- What a University core facility is and how they are a helpful service
- How designer models can impact with cancer research
- What influential mentoring in research can look like
