Exciting Job Opportunities
April 03, 2023
The RRRC is looking to expand its team! We have positions available in colony management, data curation, cryobiology, reproductive biology, and customer service. We are also looking for individuals interested in post-doctoral training with both a service and research emphasis. Interested in learning more? Contact Dr. Elizabeth Bryda at rrrc@missouri.edu.
NIH Extrinsic Factors Workshop
August 09, 2022
Enhance Rigor and Reproducibility in Animal Research by Managing Extrinsic Factors
When: September 23, 28, and 30, 2022
Venue: Zoom
Register: scgcorp.com/ExtrinsicFactorsWS
The workshop will be a forum to discuss the current status of and needs for understanding extrinsic environmental factors; their potential impact on animal research outcomes; and how facilities may optimally manage, monitor, and report these extrinsic factors in an effort to enhance reproducibility and rigor in animal research. The focus of this workshop will be on identifying gaps, opportunities, and new approaches in husbandry of commonly and widely used animal models; relevant environmental factors and conditions; and the need for novel instruments, equipment, and infrastructure for animal research core facilities (e.g., modern design of research core facilities, high-throughput equipment, telemetry for behavioral research).
Rats on the rise
July 20, 2021
Rats on the rise. Ellen P. Neff (Lab Animal, 2021). After a genetic revolution in the 80s, mice overtook rats as the laboratory animal of choice for many researchers. But in recent years, the gene editing capabilities that had lagged a little for the larger rodent have been coming up to par with their murine cousins. Is a return to rats on the way?
RRRC Fully Operational
June 14, 2020
The RRRC is fully operational at this time and we are excited to be able to assist researchers with all their rat-related needs. Cryo-Resuscitation
Resuscitation via cryopreserved embryos requires submission of 40-60 cryopreserved embryos. You will receive all recovered pups after genotyping and health monitoring procedures are performed.
Resuscitation via cryopreserved sperm will be performed by intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
You will receive all recovered pups after genotyping and health monitoring assays are performed.
Resuscitation and rederivation procedures are performed in pathogen-free barrier facility, and clean surrogate mothers purchased from commercial vendor are used for embryo transfers. You will receive the litters with confirmed genetics and pathogen-free health status.
