Animal Research Immunology Core

The Animal Research Immunology Core (ARIC) offers professional services (fee-based) for infectious disease studies, with an emphasis on those organisms requiring specialized biocontainment facilities.  We provide facilities and services to study microbial pathogenesis and to test new therapies against infectious diseases, including infectious disease research whose goals include the development of novel therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostic tools.

The ARIC strives to conduct animal research that is both safe and humane. The research and care of animals are overseen and approved by several groups at the University of Chicago: the Animal Resource Center , the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC). The Animal Resource Center is also AAALAC accredited. For more information, click here
