At the Center for Biometric Analysis (CBA), we empower JAX scientists with cutting-edge in vivo mouse phenotyping services. Our expertise spans a wide range of biological domains and disease states. Beyond data acquisition, we offer comprehensive support through experimental design consultation, staff training, and rigorous data quality control, statistical analysis, and interpretation.
The CBA offers comprehensive in vivo mouse phenotyping services through four specialized cores:
Each core provides a range of services tailored to specific research needs. As our equipment and technologies evolve, the services we offer may also change to ensure we continue to meet the highest standards of scientific research.
