A MODEL FOR LIFE
The first transgenic mice: an interview with Mario Capecchi
Mario Capecchi recently won the Nobel Prize for contributions to genetics that have catapulted the mouse to the status of the most valuable of all animal models. He has a personal story that is as rich and interesting as his science. Here, he discusses the journey that led him to gene targeting and his vision for the future.

DMM Journal Meeting 2024: Pre-clinical Modelling of Human Genetic Disease and Therapy

Registration is now open for our 2024 Journal Meeting. Rapid advances in gene editing and genetic technologies have revolutionised our ability to model human genetic disease and provided new hope for gene therapies. At this Meeting, we will present the very latest advances in modelling human genetic disease.
Moving towards heart success – Disease Models & Mechanisms Special Issue

DMM's most recent special issue compiles articles that aim to move heart failure to heart success by fundamentally addressing the roots of failure to identify curative strategies.
Crossroads in Virology

Our October Editorial written by Sumana Sanyal emphasises the urgency of a concerted effort in understanding virus–host interactions to inform the development of therapeutics and vaccines, helping to predict disease outcomes. Read the full Editorial here.
A Model for Life - an interview with Professor Kiran Musunuru




Read our new A Model for Life interview with Kiran Musunuru. Prof Musunuru investigates the mechanisms of disease in model systems, with the ultimate goal of developing innovative gene editing therapies.
