Directed by Dr. Vincent Young, Dr. Patrick Schloss and Dr. Thomas Schmidt, The Microbiome Core serves the specific needs of investigators who are studying the role that complex microbial communities can play in shaping the overall metabolic state of their host; including, provide analytical tools to investigators to permit determination of the structure of the microbiome in mouse models of disease and assistance in the cultivation of microbes that will permit hypothesis testing in murine models including the germfree animals that are available in the Animal Care Core.
Please help us continue our mission to advance the research for mouse models of diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity and related metabolic diseases and conditions by acknowledging our grant number U2CDK110768 in publications resulting from services provided by the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center at Michigan.
