Clara Christie Centre For Mouse Genomics 

Enabling knowledge of human and animal health through mouse-based investigative medicine

The CMG is comprised of the Facilities on the menu above. These Facilities provide a coordinated means for investigators to effectively generate and study transgenic mice. Please click on each Facility to learn more about the services we offer.

The Centre for Mouse Genomics (CMG) supports investigators by fostering the use of mouse models to understand human health and disease. Through provision of services and access to analytical facilities, the CMG provides tools to effectively generate and study transgenic mice. Services are provided on a cost recovery basis as well as partially subsidized by grants from the Faculty of Medicine, and the Canada Foundation for Innovation and other research partners.  Specific goals of the facility are as follows:

• Facilitate murine research through the provision of specialized services.
• Broaden the scope of murine techniques available to investigators.
• Standardize key methodologies for the study of mice.
• Expedite the completion of research.
• Promote collaborative research through resource sharing.
• Participate in international efforts to disrupt every gene in the mouse.
• Act in a leadership capacity through networking and the development of novel mouse-based technologies.
