Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP) has obtained a Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) certificate that authorises CCP to perform and provide non-clinical drug safety studies. Studies conducted under the GLP regime are recognised in the registration procedures of medicinal products, and without safety studies, clinical trials of new potential drugs cannot be started.
Our colleagues at Czech Centre for Phenogenomics have expanded their capabilities with the VisualSonics Vevo F2 LAZR-X, offering advanced multimodal imaging for oncology, cardiovascular studies, neurobiology, and more. This state-of-the-art photoacoustic ultrasound system will enable cross-functional research with the highest resolution on the market.
The INFRAPLUS’s kick-off took place over two productive days in Munich. With lively discussions and concrete plans, we have set the stage for INFRAFRONTIER’s expansion in state-of-the-art in vivo models, innovative in vitro models, preclinical services, and data analysis. All set to get started!
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, an international team of researchers, including our partners from CCP, has discovered a crucial link between autoimmune disorders and defects in tooth enamel development. This study sheds light on the poorly understood conditions of Amelogenesis Imperfecta in patients with Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type-1 (APS-1) and Celiac Disease.
Under the canSERV Open Call, researchers are invited to apply for a portfolio of services covering the entire oncology developmental pipeline, with the participation of 9 INFRAFRONTIER partners providing in vivo services. Deadline: 4 January 2023
A new publication of INFRAFRONTIER in Mammalian Genome is available on line now. Get an overview of the latest INFRAFRONTIER advancements, including services, resources, and technical developments.
The new state-of-the-art BSL-3 laboratory for work with highly infectious viruses and bacteria in the Czech Republic opened in March at the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP).
Outreach activities are very important to inform the public about our research. In December 2022, CCP members started with a series of lectures on the links between gene functions and human diseases: The Gene Age Lecture Series.
The International Conference of Research Infrastructures 2022 (ICRI 2022) will take place from 19-21 October in Brno, Czech Republic.
The interest in the scientific community to fight the pandemic using mouse models is remarkably high. In December 2020, INFRAFONTIER launched an attractive free-of-charge service for the biomedical research community fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic: The COVID-19 Therapeutics Pipeline Trans-national Access (TA) Call offered academic researchers to test their novel therapeutics and vaccine candidates in a preclinical Bio-Safety Level 3 (BSL3) pipeline using COVID-19 optimized mouse models
The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium has announced the election of a new Senior Leadership Team (SLT): Radislav Sedlácek is the new Chairman of IMPC, and Yann Herault the new Vice-Chair. Steve Brown, who was the Chair for many years, has stepped down to become the Past Chair. All three of them are long-term members of IMPC as well as INFRAFRONTIER.
It is the start into a new era at BIOCEV campus, the newly built Centre of Excellence in Biomedicine and Biotechnology in Vestec near Prague: On 12 and 13 September 2019, the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP) is inviting the European biomedical research community for its first top-level scientific conference on Phenogenomics.
In a new Trans-national Access Call INFRAFRONTIER offers open access to its infrastructure and expertise for researchers who need rat mutant models to be generated for their scientific aims. It’s the first time that the European research infrastructure for modeling human diseases via mammalian genomes expands its unique services to generate not only mouse, but rat models for its users.
Partners of the INFRAFRONTIER Research Infrastructure offer unique training opportunities in mouse phenogenomics, genome editing and cryopreservation technologies.
The preliminary programme for the Anatomical Bases of Mouse Multimodal Imaging Course, which will be held at the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP) has been announced.
This 5 day hands-on course will be led by Jesús Ruberte and Marc Navarro, authors of the textbook ‘Morphological Mouse Phenotyping: Anatomy, Histology and Imaging’.
In a formal act authenticated by a notary in Munich, four founding members acquired shares of the INFRAFRONTIER GmbH: the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) from France, the Biomedical Sciences Research Center ‘Alexander Fleming’ from Greece, the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Acedemy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, and the University of Oulu in Finland.
