This website provides access to all standard protocols and procedures used at the PennVet Center for Host-Microbial Interactions (CHMI). If you’re affiliated with CHMI or a member of the Beiting Lab, then you can collaboratively edit any of these protocols. This wiki-style approach gives us a central place to develop our lab protocols, while always keeping the most up-to-date protocol in one convenient and publicly accessible place. If you’re not part of CHMI, no worries, you can still peruse the site to see our protocols. Comments and feedback are welcome!
