Research exploring the role of the microbiome, with particular emphasis on the gut microbiome, is growing rapidly, affecting almost every organ in the body and every discipline in biology and medicine. One very important approach to study the functionality of the gut microbiome is the use of Germ-Free (GF) Mice, which are bred in gnotobiotic facilities. The Germ-Free Mouse Models Core of the Case Digestive Health Research Institute (DHRI) is housed in the Animal Resource Center (ARC) of the Biomedical Research Building (BRB) and provides a comprehensive and unique set of services for the greater research community.
