GenSA is the product of collaboration between the IMVS/Hanson
Institute, Adelaide University and Flinders University, focussing
on supplying genetically manipulated animals primarily to
the researchers of South Australia. GenSA aims to provide
professional and cost-effective services with priority to
researchers from these institutions.
Established in October 2001, a microinjection laboratory
(with two microinjection rigs), two purpose-built animal housing
rooms and a fully equipped cell-culture laboratory with state-of-the-art
equipment for all knockout needs have been installed.
Collectively, the GenSA team has produced over forty transgenic
and twenty knockout lines for researchers both nationally
and internationally, and since October, has produced two transgenic
lines and rederived five mouse lines into the Specific Pathogen-Free
Barrier Facility. GenSA is one of the first facilities in
the world to successfully cryopreserve the NOD-SCID mouse
line. GenSA has also played a key advisory role in the establishment
of future transgenic animal projects within the IMVS.
This facility is coordinated by Loren Matthews (8222 3089
