Medical University of South Carolina University Research Resource Facilities

Gnotobiotic Research Resource

The Medical University of South Carolina, through its Research Resource Facilities program, has established a gnotobiotic animal research facility.  The facility is located in the Division of Animal Resources animal facility.   Early in 2005, the facility relocated to state-of-the-art DLAR facilities in the Children's Research Institute.

The gnotobiotic animal facility was established at MUSC by Dr. Edward Balish.  Dr. Balish has a long history of gnotobiotic research at the University of Wisconsin, where he directed the Gnotobiotic Research Laboratory for many years.  The facility was established with Dr. Balish's move to MUSC.

The facility is currently in the start-up phase.  Any request concerning gnotobiotics should be addressed to:
