WE BELIEVE QUALITY MICE ARE ESSENTIAL FOR RESEARCH

// WHO WE ARE

Australian BioResources (ABR) is a state-of-the-art facility for breeding and holding research mice, owned and operated by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research on behalf of the medical research community in Australia.

The facility provides the capacity to house the numerous genetically modified mice that underpin progress in modern medical research. These mouse colonies are critical for progress in research across all health priority areas such as the following:

  • Cancer
  • Mental illness
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • Obesity

LAB MICE BREEDING AND MANAGEMENT

// SERVICES

REDERIVATION

This is used to eliminate pathogens from mice to establish clean, healthy breeding colonies.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS

Australian BioResources staff can obtain import/export permits and manage clearances.

CRYOPRESERVATION

This technique preserves mouse lines that are no longer needed for research.

GENOME EDITING

The MEGA service can generate new mouse lines quickly and cheaply using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.

MOUSE GENOTYPING

Together with Garvan Molecular Genetics (GMG), we offer a quick and easy genotyping service.

FAQs

With a laboratory mouse, researchers can learn more about the world around us and the body that houses us.
