    Summary

    This collection of mouse models is made for our research on mitochondrial dysfunction, for FinMIT centre of excellence.

    1a. The resource holds animal models relevant to the study of the following neurodegenerative diseases
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)
  • 1b. The resource holds:
  • Animals
  • Frozen embryos
  • Frozen sperm
  • Genetic material (DNA, RNA, vectors etc)
  • 2a. The resource acts as a centre for access and distribution to external groups (who are not the PIs of the resource)
    2b. Procedures and rules for access
  • Apply to PI or co-ordinator at resource
  • Access independent of collaboration with PI
  • Local/ regional access
  • National access
  • International access
  • Access to industry
  • Applicant needs to provide separate external ethics approval
  • Other requirements exist
  • 3a. Does the resource develop animal models for external groups
