Airway Physiology Core

The mission of the PennVet Airway physiology core is to provide research investigators with the infrastructure and expertise for obtaining data on pulmonary mechanics, airway cytology and lung architecture mouse models of allergic disease and pathogen infection.

Created by research faculty at Penn Vet, the Penn Vet Airway Physiology Core provides investigators across the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia facilities access to a state-of-the-art equipment to deliver inhaled substances to rodents and measure airway physiology either invasively or non-invasively.

This core offers comprehensive services from study design and development to performance of exposures and phenotyping in a BSL-2 animal facility, to data analysis and interpretation.
