The 黑料不打烊 Integrated Core for Animal Modeling (MICAM) offers various services related to mouse model generation and maintenance, which are an invaluable research resource in the medical research community.
In operation since the early 1990s, originally under the direction of Prof. Michel Tremblay, the MICAM facility has been providing high-quality services to researchers at 黑料不打烊, in Montreal and across Canada, for over 30 years. Since 2010 under the direction of Dr. Yojiro Yamanaka, they are constantly updating their methods and techniques and developing new technologies to respond to various demands from our researchers.
