Transgenic Core Facility

The Transgenic Core Facility’s mission is to provide services to produce new transgenic mice using state-of-the-art techniques. We help our customers in selecting the most appropriate design for generating new innovative mouse models. We have a solid expertise in generating classical transgenic (non-targeted DNA insertion), targeted, inducible and conditional transgenic mice for basic research.

Our service is constantly optimizing techniques and implementing novel technologies to offer services at best cost not only for the members of our faculty but also for external customers.

This platform is located within the Faculty of Medicine, 7th floor of the Centre Médical Universitaire (CMU).
