In this award, ILS will conduct and manage multiple concurrent studies for NIEHS to better understand the cellular and genetic components of human disease and the impact of the environment on susceptible populations. These studies may involve in vitro assays, in vivo in-life studies, biochemical, cellular and molecular analyses, histopathological evaluations and reporting of results. The contract will utilize ILS’s SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) and Non-SPF facilities to conduct research involving the breeding and utilization of multiple unique models of human disease. The diverse scientific expertise, the staff experience, the equipment, laboratories, and facilities make ILS uniquely qualified to successfully manage and support this highly diverse research-based contract.
