Ethics Applications

Techniques to study the impact of genetic and pharmacologic manipulation on mouse metabolism are highly specialised but are generally non-invasive.

The MMMPP can provide researchers with experiment design advice and specific equipment procedural guidelines for obtaining ethics approval or amendments to existing ethics.

Please contact the MMMPP Coordinator for details.
