Morphological and Physiological Phenotyping

Enhance your research with morphological and physiological phenotyping services. Analyze physical traits and physiological functions to gain insights into genetic variations and their impact on health and disease with help from the Mouse Biology Program.


The MBP Phenotyping and Analytics Division provides a comprehensive range of diagnostic services to assess mice’s morphology and physiological functions. These services are designed to support researchers in characterizing mouse models for various health and disease conditions. These are just a few of the ways we can assist:

  • General Health: SHIRPA, clinical chemistry, and hematology for overall health assessment.
  • Growth: Body weight tracking and growth curve analysis.
  • Ophthalmology: Cornea, anterior, and posterior chamber evaluations.
  • Body Composition: Dual Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for fat, lean mass, and bone density.
  • Skeletal Anatomy: X-ray imaging and bone mineral density assessments.
  • Cardiovascular Function: ECG, blood pressure, and heart weight analysis.
  • Intestinal Function: Gut permeability, intestinal transit time, and fecal collection.
  • Kidney and Liver Function: Urine collection, analysis, and clinical chemistry.

Our diagnostic capabilities offer detailed physiological and anatomical assessments, helping researchers gain critical insights into their mouse models for various research areas, including genetics, metabolism, and disease progression.
