Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell

At the Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell, we are working to improve our understanding of human disease through the study of mouse models and providing mouse genetics services to scientists around the world. These services cover all aspects of preclinical disease modelling in mice, including mouse model generation, a wide array of phenotyping tests, and archiving and distribution services. We adhere to the highest welfare standards and are proactively committed to implementing the 3Rs for the benefit of mouse health and welfare, while also improving the quality of the scientific data generated. MRC Harwell is also home to the Advance training centre, which delivers our world-class practical and theoretical training courses and has labs and training rooms available to hire.
