Integrated Phenotyping Consortium
The Integrated Phenotyping Consortium at the Mouse Biology Program provides a comprehensive platform for mouse model characterization, combining expertise in phenotyping, imaging, pathology, and histology to uncover disease mechanisms and support cutting-edge biomedical research.
The Mouse Biology Program (MBP) at UC Davis is proud to present the Integrated Phenotyping Consortium, a state-of-the-art platform that brings together phenotyping, pathology, histology, and imaging services for comprehensive mouse model characterization. By collaborating with experts at the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Comparative Pathology Laboratory (CPL) and the Center for Molecular and Genomics Imaging (CMGI), this consortium streamlines access to an extensive range of tools and expertise for advancing disease research.
Through the Integrated Phenotyping Consortium, MBP coordinates specialized services to uncover pathogenic mechanisms and provide detailed insights into adult and embryonic mouse models. Our offerings include:
- Adult and Embryo Phenotyping: Comprehensive assessment of physical and physiological traits to detect disease-associated changes.
- Anatomical and Functional Imaging: Advanced imaging techniques for precise anatomical visualization and functional assessments of internal organs and tissues.
- Gross and Histopathology: Detailed pathological examination of tissues, including organ morphology, cellular changes, and tissue architecture, to better understand disease processes.
- Specialized Brain and Tissue Dissection & Banking: Expert dissection and long-term preservation of brain and other critical tissues for further analysis and future research applications.
- Clinical Chemistry and Hematology: Analysis of serum, plasma, and urine samples to evaluate metabolic and systemic health, focusing on detecting biomarkers and abnormalities associated with disease.
By leveraging these advanced techniques, the Integrated Phenotyping Consortium offers researchers an integrated approach to characterizing disease mechanisms, enhancing the understanding of mouse models in biomedical research.
