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!
July has brought two major networking opportunities to INFRAFRONTIER: the 48th FEBS Congress in Milan, where we joined EURO-BioImaging, EU-OPENSCREEN, and Instruct, and the RExPO 4EU event in Munich focused on Drug Repurposing. Both events were enriching experiences that promise to foster new collaborations and enhance our outreach.
INFRAFRONTIER received the ERIC plate in a ceremony led by Anna Panagopoulou, the Director at DG Research & Innovation. After a powerful speech, she gave the floor to Martin Hrabe de Angelis, who explained the work and impact of INFRAFRONTIER. Also LOFAR ERIC was honoured. With these new additions, Europe now counts with 28 ERICs. Watch the ceremony here!
The second ‘live’ Charlie Consortium Meeting brought together global experts on rare diseases linked to lysine metabolism disorders at Helmholtz Munich, co-organised by the German Mouse Clinic and INFRAFRONTIER.
INFRAFRONTIER and IMPC joined forces at The Allied Genetics Conference in Washington DC to promote their resources and portfolio in front of several model communities. Apart from being an excellent opportunity to establish connections with new researchers, we were fortunate to coincide with partners and colleagues.
INFRAFRONTIER recently engaged with rare disease experts at the RARE 2023 Conference in Budapest. Lively discussions at our booth focused on disease models, while sessions explored various perspectives, from early diagnosis biomarkers to palliative care. A fabulous opportunity to engage with this scientific community.
The ESHG brought together the most innovative research projects in human genetics. Thanks to representatives from the Mary Lyon Centre at MRC Harwell, INFRAFRONTIER had the opportunity to inform researchers of their expansive service portfolio.
INFRAFRONTIER services and resources on rare diseases were presented in RE(ACT) Congress in March. The stand attracted the attention of many visitors who came to find out more about the infrastructure.
The International Conference of Research Infrastructures 2022 (ICRI 2022) will take place from 19-21 October in Brno, Czech Republic.
The 17th Transgenic Technology Meeting (TT2022), organized by the International Society of Transgenic Technology (ISTT) will take place on 17 – 20 September 2022 in Helsinki, Finland.
The 20th anniversary of the ICS (Institut Clinique de la Souris) coincides with the 20th anniversary of the sequencing of the mouse genome!
How can genetically modified mouse models help scientists with their research on cancer – one of the predominant causes of human deaths in Europe and worldwide? This was the working question dominating the 4th Annual Conference of the INFRAFRONTIER Research Infrastructure, held virtually on 7 and 8 October 2020.
INFRAFRONTIER, the European Research Infrastructure for developing, phenotyping, archiving, and distribution of genetically modified mouse and rat models, has decided to postpone its annual scientific conference. The INFRAFRONTIER Conference 2020 with its focus on “Targeting Cancer with Animal Models” had originally been scheduled for 22 to 24 June 2020 in Brussels, Belgium will now be postponed to 7 to 9 October 2020, same location.
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.
The annual conference of the International Mammalian Genome Society (IMGS) in autumn is a highlight for researchers in functional genomics worldwide. After exciting and scientifically fruitful meetings in Puerto Rico (November 2018) and Heidelberg (October 2017), the IMGS invites its global community to the 33rd edition of the International Mammalian Genome Conference (IMGC) to Strasbourg, France.
“The application of artificial intelligence is the next big step to discover new ground in our massive biomedical data sets. We have to make use of this disruptive technology now”, says Prof. Dr. Martin Hrabĕ de Angelis, director at the Helmholtz Center Munich and coordinator of the pan-European project “INFRAFRONTIER”.
The human microbiome and its immense impact on the health conditions of the human body has become a vital topic in international biomedical research – as shown lately in a interesting article in the British daily The Guardian.
In 2018, two big European meetings co-organized by INFRAFRONTIER will cover the role of animal research for studying the microbiome:
This is the first stakeholder meeting of INFRAFRONTIER, the European Research Infrastructure for phenotyping and archiving of model mammalian genomes. The meeting will be jointly organized with the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC, www.mousephenotype.org) to which INFRAFRONTIER is contributing. Focus of this meeting is on ‘Advancing Personalised Medicine with Animal Models’. The meeting is open to a wide range of INFRAFRONTIER stakeholders including Personalised Medicine initiatives, Rare Disease networks, funders, regulators and the INFRAFRONTIER user community to discuss advances in CRISPR/Cas9 technology to model human conditions.
INFRAFRONTIER will be present at the ISTT 13th Transgenic Technology Meeting, March 20-23, Prague, Czech Republic.
You are welcome to visit us at stand 25 and learn more about INFRAFRONTIER!
On July 21-22, INFRAFRONTIER IPAD-MD project was kicked-off, in a two-day meeting in Munich, Germany.
On 19 November 2014 the Council of the INFRAFRONTIER GmbH met in Munich for its third regular meeting. The Council discussed and approved the work programme, budget and the overall scientific strategy for the INFRAFRONTIER GmbH in 2015.
On 07 May 2014 the Council of the INFRAFRONTIER GmbH met in Munich. This was the first meeting of the Council after the accession of France, Czech Republic, Finland and Greece to the INFRAFRONTIER GmbH on 05 December 2013.
On 02 to 04 December, INFRAFRONTIER holds an international workshop in Rome, together with the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) and the International Knockout Mouse Konsortium (IKMC). More than 200 participants will participate.
The aim of the Rome meeting is to discuss how researchers from different scientific fields and from industry can benefit from the large-scale mouse genomics initiatives INFRAFRONTIER, the IMPC and the IKMC, and to obtain feedback from the research community on future needs and improvements.
The meeting is funded through the EC-funded projects InfraCoMP and EUCOMTOOLS, the Italian National Research Council (CNR) generously provides the meeting venue.
