Mission Statement

The TGEM Core is a centralized facility for the efficient production of genetically engineered models for UAB investigators. Genetically engineered models (cells, mice, rats and zebrafish) are produced by trained professionals at high standards of quality and with excellent efficiency. For the investigator, this approach means availability of highly specialized services at a reasonable cost. The UAB Transgenic & Genetically Engineered Models Core is supported by the O’Neal Cancer Center, the UAB Center for Precision Animal Modeling, the UAB Childhood Cystic Kidney Disease Core Center, the UAB Diabetes Center, and by cost-recovery fees.
