Part of CAT’s Finfish Genetics Innovation Center, in San Diego, the center intends to increase the performance of the aquaculture market through the advancement and application of genomic tools for next-generation breeding. It consists of a genome modifying and bacterium cell transfer lab for commercial-scale research study applications, a wet laboratory for information collection and brand-new recirculation systems that have actually been custom-made to support research study and animal well-being, and to help enhance upkeep and husbandry activities.
“The San Diego facility expansion aligns with our plans to accelerate strategic growth and expand CAT’s global footprint,” said Dr John Buchanan, CAT’s president and CEO, in a news release. “The Finfish Genetics Innovation Center will support the ongoing commercialization of our trademarked genome modifying innovations and capability to drive hereditary development in aquaculture.”
Matt Stone, center supervisor, says, “Our aquatic facilities team is looking forward to utilising the new Finfish Genetics Innovation Center and is excited to participate in the ground-breaking research in aquaculture genetics and genomics.”
This modern-day center will be devoted to Dr Michael Horne for his contributions as a consultant to CAT, and for his commitment to aquaculture development. For years, Mike has actually been a pioneer worldwide of aquaculture research study, and his work has actually left an irreversible and unquestionably positive mark on the market and a host of aquaculture researchers.
