Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers (MMPC-Live)

The MMPC-Live is a national consortium funded by the NIH/NIDDK with the mission to advance medical and biological research by providing the scientific community with standardized, high quality metabolic and physiologic phenotyping services for mouse models of diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity and related disorders. The Mouse Biology Program is one of five academic Centers that provides standardized, high quality experimental testing of mouse models of diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity and related metabolic disorders. To learn more about the services and testing available through the MMPC-Live, visit: www.mmpc.org


Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Centers (MMRRC)

The MMRRC is a national network of breeding and distribution facilities plus an information coordinating center, who together serve as the National Institutes of Health’s premier repository of spontaneous and induced mutant mouse and cell lines. With more than 50,000 strains of mutant mice available to the greater research community, the MMRRC is the largest not for profit repository on the planet and the UC Davis Mouse Biology Program holds the largest collection of the Centers.  To learn more about the MMRRC, visit: www.MMRRC.org
