Moriah Jacobson, PhD  LinkedIn

Associate Director, Field Applications Sciences

Dr. Moriah Jacobson joined Taconic Biosciences as a Field Applications Scientist in October 2020, recently transitioning into the role of Associate Director, Field Applications Sciences. She has deep expertise in the development, execution, and review of translational rodent studies. She obtained her Ph.D. in Integrative Neuroscience from Stony Brook University, where she discovered novel biomarkers for several models of chronic stress and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment and peripheral neuropathy. She then completed her postdoctoral research at Uniformed Services University where she studied novel rapid acting antidepressant drugs targeting kappa opioid receptors.

SOD1 Rat Application Note

Taconic offers the SOD1 rat for use in characterizing ALS and in drug discovery efforts. Onset of motor neuron disease typically occurs between 174 and 207 days and is accompanied by substantial loss of spinal motor cord neurons and marked increases in gliosis and degeneration of muscle integrity and function.

Alzheimer's Disease Application Note

Taconic provides several models for use in Alzheimer’s disease, including both familial Alzheimer’s disease models and sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) models. Amyloid beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are two key features of AD. Taconic offers an assortment of models that develop plaques, tangles, and inflammation, making them suitable for screening novel drug candidates for use in AD. The Apoe gene has been shown to be the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset AD. Taconic offers the APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4 knock-in models.
