Areas of Expertise

The Mouse Biology Program (MBP) consists of an interdisciplinary group of collaborating scientists and technical staff who provide products and service

• ES cell targeting
• Genetic analysis and screening
• Microinjection (ES cell – blastocyst injection and DNA – pronuclear injection)
• Mouse colony management
• Natural mating
• Artificial reproductive techniques (IVF, assisted IVF, and ICSI) 
• Cryopreservation (sperm, embryos and ovaries)
• Behavior, metabolic, pathology phenotype
• Microimaging
• Infectious disease diagnostics
• Animal health care
• Bioinformatics
• Archival and distribution of ES cells, embryos, sperm, and live mice to the worldwide scientific community

We are also engaged in development and optimization of advanced technology that improves, expands, and refines the use of genetically-altered mice.
