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.

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 MGH CNY Zebrafish Cooperative is ~ a 3000 sq. ft. Aquatics facility located on the 4th floor of Building 149 in the Charlestown Navy Yard. With more than 5000 tanks, the goal of the Cooperative is to provide access and a cost sharing plan to distribute the aquatics facility overhead expenses. Investigators are charged a “per rack” rate based on monthly use. Facility charges reflect costs associated with routine maintenance, replacement costs for broken equipment, brine shrimp and rotifers, and salary support for facility staff. The rate for Low Density (LD) racks is proportional to charges of High Density (HD) racks that have 25% greater capacity. Common nursery space is shared among all investigators and is not subject to per rack charges. The core intends to run revenue neutral and adjust its yearly budgets when expenses run above or below the projected budget. Core use and membership requires approval by the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Cooperative.
