Central Animal Core Imaging and Transgenic Facilities

The Central Animal Core Imaging and Transgenic Facilities (CACITF) was recently established by combining two existing facilities, the Rodent Transgenic Service (RTS) and the Small Animal and Materials Imaging Core Faclity (SAMICF). Integration of these two facilities provides researchers with a single point of access to facilities for developing new genetic models of disease states and applying advanced imaging techniques to these (and other) disease states.  Our facility offers fee-for-service optical (luminescent or fluorescent), micro-CT, PET, PET-MRI  MRI, and ultrasound imaging for small animals and biological or non-biological samples. Our facility includes animal holding suites to facilitate longitudinal imaging studies.
