Our Facility
We offer both invasive and non-invasive techniques for collecting in vivo physiological data. We provide:

Our staff has extensive surgical experience with a variety of animal models, strains, species and techniques. We can evaluate your needs and provide technical assistance with experimental design and technical training.
Researchers may request our trained facility staff to perform techniques or use the available equipment themselves, once trained. Once approved, researchers can use the Booked electronic scheduling platform to remotely reserve stations or equipment.
USD and USD-affiliated researchers may use for the facility for free. External charge rates may apply for outside entities. Contact Core Manager Jessica Freeling at jessica.freeling@usd.edu for a quote or details about available services.
