While most laboratory mice in the Medical School live under
stress-free
conditions, mice in the Center for Integrative Genomics have
a more spartan lifestyle. This one is helping U-M graduate student
Nathan LaCross (right) learn how exercise affects mice with
genetic mutations involving obesity and cardiovascular performance.
The Center provides expertise and equipment for those studying
the complex interactions among genes, organisms and the environment.

and of internal medicine, directs the new Center.
