EmailHealth Span Core
Services
- Performs integrative phenotyping of health and function across multiple domains in aging rodents by leveraging long-standing expertise in conducting sophisticated in vivo metabolic studies, hormonal assays, and specialized surgeries, including parabiosis, as well as newly added services, including geropathology, behavior, and cardiovascular function. These studies are supported by an experienced and skilled team of staff scientists and technicians, and a distinguished group of expert consultants.
- Offers consultation, advice, and training to investigators interested in implementing these studies in their own lab, or to devise a customized study design for services in the Core.
- Makes an aging and parabiotic tissue repository available for dissemination to investigators upon request.
