About INFRAFRONTIER

The INFRAFRONTIER consortium consists of more than 20 leading biomedical research institutes in 15 countries working together to understand basic mammalian gene function and model human diseases.

EMMA

The European Mouse Mutant Archive – EMMA is a non-profit repository for the collection, archiving (via cryopreservation) and distribution of relevant mutant mouse and rat strains essential for basic biomedical research.

Resources and Services

In addition to EMMA, INFRAFRONTIER offers other services like axenic derivation, access to open calls and systemic phenotyping.
