Animal Models and Care

现代成像技术的快速发展要求更复杂的技术 动物模型。这有助于成像专家和具有专业技能的专家之间的合作努力。 在动物身上模拟人类疾病。因此，动物模型和护理核心具有各种专业知识 动物模型、程序和畜牧业将增加该计划的整体协同效应。核心目标是 一)在实验设计方面提供咨询意见和专业知识；二)协助拟定动物方案和 修改并在适当时与环境健康和安全部门协调，三)简化 动物的获取和转让，以及(四)视需要提供程序援助。两个主要物种 在ICMIC中有老鼠和兔子。为了适应这一需要，与MICE的工作将在 约翰和丽贝卡·摩尔斯加州大学圣迭戈分校综合癌症中心。这座新楼是最先进的。 与小动物影像资源位于同一层的间隔层。这两个人的接近程度 VITAL Functions增强了协同作用，以优化复杂型号中的成像时间。这个 兔子将被安置在临床教学设施中。核心的工作人员将能够提供 向使用这些设施的调查人员提供协助。

The rapidly developing advancements in modern imaging technology requires ever more sophisticated animal models. This lends to cooperative efforts between experts in imaging and those with specialized skills in modeling human disease in animals. Hence an Animal Model and Care Core with expertise in a variety of animal models, procedures and husbandry will add to the overall synergy of the program. The Core aims to i) provide advice and expertise in experimental design, ii) assist in the preparation of animal protocols and amendments and coordinate with Environmental Health and Safety when appropriate, iii) streamline the acquisition and transfer of animals, and iv) provide procedural assistance as needed. The two main species in the ICMIC are mice and rabbits. To accomodate this need the work with mice will be coordinated at the John and Rebecca Moores Comprehensive UCSD Cancer Center. This new building has a state of the art vivarium that is located on the same level as the Small Animal Imaging Resource. The proximity of these two vital functions enhances the synergy to optimize the timing of the imaging in the sophisticated models. The rabbits will be housed in the Clinical Teaching Facility. The personnel of the Core will be able to provide assistance to the investigators that are using each of these facilities.
