Core Description

Animal models have been the mainstay of preclinical research for understanding basic mechanisms involved in disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, animal models have provided a platform to test novel diagnostic modalities and therapeutic interventions. The Hope Center’s Animal Surgery Core provides assistance to investigators interested in translating basic findings in disease mechanisms (and/or targets for intervention) to preclinical studies using animal models of neurological disorders. The core provides expertise, resources, and infrastructure for animal model research tailored towards the aims and goals of investigators. The core has experience with a variety of animal models of neurological disorders. In addition, the core will aid investigators in the design and implementation of unique experimental procedures custom-tailored to the goals of individual investigators.
