Rutgers Cancer Institute of NJ (CINJ) Metabolomics
Metabolomics Analysis and Visualization Engine (MAVEN) software package for data processing and visualization.
MAVEN is an open-source software program for interactive processing of LC-MS-based metabolomics data. MAVEN enables rapid and reliable metabolite quantitation from multiple reaction monitoring data or high-resolution full-scan mass spectrometry data.It automatically detects and reports peak intensities for isotope-labeled metabolites. Menu-driven, click-based navigation allows visualization of raw and analyzed data.

Gnotobiotic Core
https://research.rutgers.edu/animal-care/gnotobiotic-core
Managed by Animal Care, the gnotobiotic core at Rutgers University provides investigators with the ability to work with germ-free and SPF mice. Currently the core maintains a germ-free colony with C57BL/6 GF mice and Swiss Webster mice to support Rutgers investigators. We offer many technical services that also support gnotobiotic studies.
