The Mission of the Mouse Genetics Core (MGC) is to provide a cost-effective method for generating and maintaining genetically altered mice for the entire Washington University research community.
Core Facilities
MR Facility
The MR Facility is a research facility with a special emphasis on brain imaging containing 3 MRI systems that are dedicated 100% of the time to human research.
Musculoskeletal Histology and Morphometry Core
The Musculoskeletal Histology and Morphometry Core provides histological services for the identification and analysis of bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon and ligament, in developing and adult model organisms and humans.
Musculoskeletal Structure and Strength Core
Structure and strength are perhaps the most relevant properties when assessing functional outcomes in animal models related to musculoskeletal biology and medicine.
