Context and aims of the call

Main objective of this INFRAFRONTIER2020 Trans-national Access call is to facilitate access for the wider biomedical research community to the unique infrastructure and scientific expertise of the participating INFRAFRONTIER mouse clinic, where mouse mutant lines can be tested through phenotyping pipelines with special focus on metabolic functions.

As an example, disturbed energy balance regulation results in obesity and in numerous related metabolic disorders - such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. We offer specialised phenotyping pipelines comprising state-of-the-art test assays monitoring disease related parameters.

Access will be granted based on scientific excellence and supports the development and in-depth characterisation of mouse models for investigating gene function and human pathophysiology.  INFRAFRONTIER will provide open access to all characterised disease models and phenotyping data.

The call is open till 15 April, 2019
