By changing mouse genes to block a protein associated with obesity, researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, NDORMS have prevented fat from forming around the animals' internal organs, even when the animals eat an unhealthy diet. The study in Nature Medicine found that these genetically engineered mice also retained their sensitivity to insulin (normally blunted by obesity), despite gaining weight.

Case study: Building the Next Generation Biomedical Imaging Technologies
The Oxford-ZEISS Centre of Excellence in Biomedical Imaging (Oxford-ZEISS CoE) is more than a bioimaging facility – it’s a space where together with ZEISS Research and Development (R&D) Oxford’s researchers conceive and create new methodologies exploiting the latest commercial ZEISS microscopy technology. The Oxford-ZEISS CoE is a strategic partnership between the Carl ZEISS AG, the Institute for Developmental and Regenerative Medicine (IDRM), and the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology (KIR) at the University of Oxford. This partnership represents an ideal collaboration between academia and industry for solving biological problems. This case study will describe the partnership at the heart of the centre, its role as a melting pot for new imaging ideas, and how the centre’s ground-breaking technologies allow us to observe scientific processes in increasingly remarkable ways. The Oxford-ZEISS CoE will hold an official inaugural event on 21st February 2024 which will showcase the success of the Oxford-ZEISS partnership.
