The Animal Biohazard Core provides a state-of-the-art, safe and efficient biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory for conducting experiments involving in vivo modeling of infectious diseases. The core staff has extensive experience in animal studies that use BSL2/3 pathogens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. HIV transgenic mice are also used. The core will guide and support investigators in the use of in vivo models of infectious diseases caused by virulent pathogens.
