Biography

Dr Rose Mage is currently working in Laboratory of Immunology. Dr. Mage studies the rabbit as an animal model for studies of human diseases, specifically in the areas of comparative genomics and evolution, focusing on the rabbit whole genome sequence and genes of immunological interest. Dr. Mage also facilitates and contributes to annotation of the rabbit genome sequence and continues to oversee expansion and updating of information on the websites maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) on Rabbit Genome Resources and by NIAID on The Rabbit in Immunology & Infectious Disease Research.
