Center of Comparative Medicine & Pathology

The Center of Comparative Medicine and Pathology (CCMP) is an academically oriented, interdisciplinary center that supports the development, characterization, care, and use of animal models at Memorial Sloan Kettering.

CCMP is home to the Research Animal Resource Center (RARC), the unit providing husbandry, clinical care, and training in association with research animal model development and use, and the Laboratory of Comparative Pathology (LCP), a full-service diagnostic laboratory offering clinical and anatomic pathology services in support research as well as Memorial Sloan Kettering’s animal care and use program. The LCP also operates the Genetically Modified Animal Phenotyping Service, which conducts extensive baseline phenotypic profiling of genetically engineered animals.
