Humanized Mouse Platform - Preclinical Models

Made possible thanks to the support of the Charles-Bruneau Foundation, the CHU Sainte-Justine Humanized Mouse Platform aims to provide researchers with preclinical models and relevant in vivo study tools to answer scientific questions in many fields, especially in oncology.

We have expertise both in design of experiments, selection of most appropriate type of model to answer a given question as well as for techniques such as surgeries, injections and others. The platform's offer includes 9 different strains of mice, 3 types of humanized mice, an animal handling service (such as surgery and injections), as well as irradiation and in vivo imaging devices.
