The AHWC is the interface between the Division of Animal Care and the Vanderbilt Center for Metabolic Phenotyping in Live Models of Obesity and Diabetes (VMPMOD). The responsibilities and services of this Core are critical for the VMPMOD to perform well-controlled experiments in non-stressed, healthy mice.
