Kim Cordes' Testimonial

 

Kim Cordes“SwitchGear’s 3’UTR reporter constructs were essential in identifying important miRNA targets. Using the LightSwitch System allowed me to have a straightforward and simple approach to get reproducible results.”  

 -Kim Cordes, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease at the University of California San Francisco.  Kim studies the mechanisms that regulate vascular smooth muscle proliferation.  The LightSwitch Luciferase Assay system helped her identify the targets of miR-29, which is enriched in the artery and associated with extra-cellular matrix breakdown in aortic aneurysms.
