UCLA BTC has partnered with many offsite clients, including private researchers, startups, and other universities that do not have access to a similar core facility. We are available to fully execute your behavioral testing needs, including drug treatments and some surgical options. Onboarding takes approximately 2-3 months, during which time we will submit an IACUC protocol for the studies you wish us to complete. All testing, associated costs, and deliverables will be outlined in a Sales and Services Contract to be signed by all parties prior to the start of testing. Contact us at uclabtc@gmail.com for more information.
We can accept animal transfers from any approved vendors. For transfers from another institution, animals will be required to enter quarantine for 4-8 weeks or until testing is cleared.
We can also facilitate collaborations with other Core Facilities, should you need additional services.
