The Center for Cancer Signaling Networks (CCSN) in the Division of Biology and Medicine is supported by a type III Transitional COBRE grant. The major goal of this grant mechanism is to provide support for two core facilities in the division with the ultimate goal of making these cores self-sustaining. The grant supports an administrative core, a genomics core, and a mouse transgenic and gene targeting core. The grant also supports a limited number of pilot projects that focus on stimulating use of one or both of the cores. The pilot projects are administered through the administrative core.

The function of the Mouse Transgenic and Gene Targeting Facility is to support investigators through generation of transgenic and mutant mice. Our mission is to facilitate access to mouse models of human diseases. The service is a collaborative effort that requires close interaction between an investigator and the facility personnel. While some steps are accomplished by the PI's laboratory, other steps are performed at the Facility.
