CORE--ANIMAL PROCEDURES

动物程序核心设施的目标是提供一个由两名熟练人员组成的中心设施，以促进实验动物的可重复性实验。服务包括药物筛选、致瘤性测试和试剂生产以及小动物群体管理。核心小组由伯纳德·韦斯曼博士和娜塔莉·埃德蒙兹女士领导。核心通过提供大多数实验室缺乏的动物肿瘤模型专业知识，降低此类研究的总体成本，确保动物研究的高水平可重复性，并促进癌症中心成员之间的互动，为中心增加了价值。核心支持的研究亮点包括：高技能的操作来表征新型抗肿瘤药物

The goal of the Animal Procedures Core Facility is to provide a central facility staffed by two skilled individuals to promote reproducible experimentation in laboratory animals. Services include drug screening, tumorigenicity testing and reagent production and small animal colony management. The Core is led by Dr. Bernard Weissman and Ms. Natalie Edmunds. The Core adds value to the Center by providing the animal tumor model expertise lacking in most laboratories, reducing the overall cost of such studies, ensuring a high level of reproducibility for animal studies and fostering interactions between Cancer Center members. Highlights of research supported by the Core include: highly-skilled maneuvers to characterize novel antineoplastic reagents including: intra-tibial inoculations, oral garage, and new treatments of NPC tumors with adenoviral reagents. Future plans for the Core include the addition of new Cancer Center users, expansion of colony management services including genotyping in conjunction with the Animal Models Core Facility and integration of small animal imaging with the new Small Animal Imaging Core Facility.
