I didn't go to a research University, and I'm fairly sure none of the staff used mice as a model organism. I think they were merely used in student experiments.

Now some of those students may have published work as part of their senior capstone, however it's pretty unlikely. You need a lot of knowledge to get to the point where you can publish something meaningful in biology. If you were to publish a work as an undergrad, you are probably working on a professor's project or with a less complicated topic.
