Transgenic Core Facility

About Us

The Transgenic Core Facility (CCMR TCF), being a part of the Centre for Comparative Medicine Research, supports the LKS Faculty of Medicine in research by not only preserving valuable transgenic mouse lines through embryo/sperm cryopreservation, and re-derivation and rescue of mouse colonies using assisted reproductive technology; but also generation of novel transgenic and gene targeted mice for researchers to study various disease models. The facility also maintains a repository of reagent mouse lines for principal investigators to generate mutant/ transgenic mice in research to study disease pathogenesis and gene interaction in vivo. The mission of TCF is to provide an efficient centralized service to support the HKU’s cutting-edge research involving genetically modified animals.
