Provides zebra fish husbandry and help with procedures.
Provides small animal husbandry and help with procedures.
The Cardiovascular Physiology Core provides cutting edge preclinical research tools including surgery, non invasive rodent and fish imaging and multiplexed ex vivo and in vivo physiologic measurements, including blood pressure. It is a full service preclinical core serving the Partners research community, and its academic and industrial partners.
Provides small animal husbandry and help with procedures.
This core investigates HIV pathogenesis and evaluates preventive and therapeutic interventions, as well as immuno-oncological frameworks. This endeavor is done by the creation of an improved humanized mouse model capable of generating HIV-specific human cellular and humoral immune responses.
The core offers Comprehensive Laboratory Animal Monitoring System (CLAMS) studies to noninvasively measure a variety of calorimetric and metabolic data in mice. The calorimetric data recorded by the system includes oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production values, from which both heat values and respiratory exchange ratios (RER) can be calculated.
