Infrastructure Awards in Other Programs

Richard Woychik, Ph.D.
Jackson Laboratory
Genetic Repository Center
2003 Infrastructure Award in Other Programs

The Ellison Medical Foundation has awarded $750,000 to fund the construction of the Genetic Repository Center at The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. This Repository will consolidate small mouse colonies, of strains that are in steady demand, into a single breeding facility. The resources will include models for Type 1 diabetes, neurological diseases, and heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders, as well as congenic strains of interest for infectious disease research.

Richard Woychik, Ph.D.
Jackson Laboratory
Cryopreservation Techniques
2003 Infrastructure Award in Other Programs

The Jackson Laboratory received a second award in the amount of $945,000 to fund research and education on cryopreservation techniques. Scientists from around the world will receive training through courses on cryopreservation with the goal of moving the biomedical research community to order cryopreserved embryos or reproductive cells of mice, rather than live mice. This would increase the efficiency and decrease the cost of housing and shipping and would provide the opportunity for researchers to build their own mouse colonies at their own institutions.
