Gnotobiotic Core
National Gnotobiotic Rodent Resource Center - Gnotobiotic Core
The CGIBD Gnotobiotic Core is divided into two components. The two components provide similar rodents and services, but are housed in seperate facilities and have seperate contact information. The North Carolina State University component is located on the NCSU campus in Raleigh, NC, while the University of North Carolina component is located on the UNC campus in Chapel Hill, NC.
UNC Chapel Hill Gnotobiotic Component
The Gnotobiotic Core at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill maintains several inbred and outbred strains of germ-free and gnotobiotic rodents. Our mission is to support animal model and basic research projects of CGIBD investigators and of scientists nationwide. Mice and rats can be purchased and shipped to investigators or experiments can be carried out in our facility.
Users of the core should contact the core technician, Maureen Bower, for current availability.
