McGill Integrated Core for Animal Modeling (MICAM)

To support McGill researchers through providing state of the art services in the creation of animal models to facilitate and accelerate scientific and medical discovery.

At the McGill Integrated Core for Animal Modeling (MICAM), we offer various services related to animal model generation and maintenance.

In operation since the early 1990s, originally under the direction of Dr. Michel Tremblay, the MICAM facility has been providing high-quality services to researchers at McGill, in Montreal and across Canada, for over 30 years.

Since 2010 under the direction of Dr. Yojiro Yamanaka, we are constantly updating our methods and techniques and developing new technologies to respond to various demands from our researchers.
