About
The Specialized Animal Resource (SAR) Module is intended to provide assistance and training in the maintenance of animal colonies with special needs. The primary focus is genetically altered mice (gene knockout or transfer) that require a clean environment, may be difficult to breed, and involve genotyping of offspring.
In addition, the module manager is available for assistance and training in experimental procedures involving most animal models.
The module also provides resources to conduct in vivo assessments of ocular structure and function in rodents. Please contact Dr. Beata Jastrzebska bxj27@case.edu for instructions and training for the use of the SD-OCT and SLO instruments, Ms. Ciara Pettit clp121@case.edu for the use of the ERG and OptoMotry instruments.
The function of the SAR Module Director is to approve and supervise use of the Module facilities. All requests for Module use must be discussed with the Director, who will coordinate the schedule of the Managers.
Use of the SAR Module is limited to animals directly involved in eye research. The SAR Module Manager will oversee the daily operations of the SAR Module facility in addition to providing technical guidance and training.
The Manager is an expert in fundamental techniques of genotyping, and has prior experience training laboratory personnel.
