Director of Core D “Behavior and Cognitive Core”: Ulrich-Lai

The UC MMPC provides metabolic phenotyping services to NIH- and company-supported investigators with transgenic mice that have diabetes-related phenotypes. More specifically, Core D (Behavior and Cognitive Core) provides sophisticated state-of-the-art behavioral assays, radioimmunoassays, and radiotelemetry methods that allow investigators to better characterize mouse models of metabolic disorders.
