Welcome to ORIP

Scientific and health innovations rely on continuous access to cutting-edge technology and instruments. Dr. Birgit Schilling, Professor, Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and Director of the Proteomics Core and Mass Spectrometry Center, knows this better than most.

Register now to attend the final two sessions of our workshop on the needs for cryopreservation and other preservation approaches for widely used animal models in biomedical research.

The Monarch Initiative is the biomedical research community’s most comprehensive cross-species phenotype information resource, delivering powerful computational phenotypic tools.

In the past 20 years, two sarbecoviruses—SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2—have caused major disease outbreaks in humans. Researchers are interested in developing pan-sarbecovirus vaccines with stronger cross-neutralizing protective effects to resist viral evolution and prevent future outbreaks.

Enabled by ongoing advancements in genome editing technology, precision disease modeling is an increasingly important component of personalized medicine approaches to treat human disease.

The relationship between behavior and brain-wide activity is difficult to study in animal models. This is because the technology frequently used to view activity changes in the brain—magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—generates high acoustic noise, which can stress the animal and is sensitive to movement, creating artifacts in the imaging.
