Metabolic Phenotyping

The Metabolic Phenotyping Center (MPC) offers an extensive range of services for comprehensive metabolic phenotyping in the mouse. Our extensive variety of state-of-the-art metabolic research equipment coupled with technical expertise allows the MPC to comprehensively assess murine metabolism. We work with Weill Cornell Medicine investigators to custom design investigations of dietary or microbiome manipulation, experimental drug treatment, or genetic mutation to help them answer their experimental questions.
