Facility Details

Reproductive Sciences is composed of Importation, Cryopreservation, Cell Biology and Microinjection groups. These groups provide a variety of services including creation of genetically modified mice, cryopreservation, recovery of cryopreserved mouse strains, rapid expansion of lines using in vitro fertilization, rederivation of imported mouse lines and maintenance of a repository of publicly distributed cryopreserved embryos, sperm and ovaries. In addition to providing these services, the Reproductive Sciences group maintains an active research program focused on the development, refinement and implementation of assisted reproductive technologies that can be used to manage strains more effectively and an education program designed to facilitate the transfer of these technologies to the scientific community.
