Welcome to the Bridges Lab protocol site. If you would like to know more about our group, please visit the [http://bridgeslab.sph.umich.edu Bridges Lab Website]. All of our experimental protocols are available through this site and are free to use/copy/modify by anyone without any restrictions. You can locate protocols by looking at this index, searching by category (see below) or searching by keyword. If you notice an error, would like to discuss these methods or would like to be able to edit these pages contact us via email. __NOTOC__ ==Protocol Categories==See [[Special:Categories]] for as listing of protocols by category. ==Lab Safety==* For notes about required training courses see [[ Safety and Animal Training ]]* For lab-specific standard operating procedures see [[:Category: SOP]] ==Common Protocols== ===Cell and Tissue Culture===
