What can we help you with

Microinjection

Model Generation

Genetically modified rodent models have become a key tool in basic and biomedical research. The ability to engineer the mouse genome has greatly transformed biomedical research in the last decade. 
Phenotyping

Phenotyping

The genomes of humans, mice and other species have been completely sequenced, yet the knowledge of genome sequences as such does not shed light on questions concerning the functions of these sequences. 

Animal Facility

The Animal Facility Module of the Czech Center for Phenogenomics is based on the latest advances in housing, breeding and care of laboratory mice and rats. 
Mouse tumors

Preclinical Testing

The Czech Centre for Phenogenomics can offer a very broad portfolio of highly standardized assays useful for preclinical studies on rodents including established disease models.

A Decade of High-Impact Science

The Czech Centre for Phenogenomics is renowned for its service to the user community, its scientific footprint is perhaps best measured by the calibre of publications its team has co-authored. CCP researchers have consistently published in the world’s most prestigious journals, including Nature, Cell, and Nature Genetics.

From Vision to Excellence

This year, the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics celebrates ten years as a national and European hub for advanced disease modelling and phenotyping. Founded from a small transgenic unit at the Institute of Molecular Genetics, CCP evolved into one of Europe’s largest and most advanced infrastructures for phenogenomics. Today, CCP employs around 140–145 specialists and operates fully as a large research infrastructure hosted by the Czech Academy of Sciences.

About Czech Centre for Phenogenomics

Genetically modified mouse models have become a key tool in basic and biomedical research. The ability to engineer the mouse genome has greatly transformed biomedical research in the last decade. Crucial for this technology is the ability to control the expression of genes of interest. It is possible to increase or decrease gene expression, or eliminate the expression of a gene completely.

Transgenic and gene knockout/knockin technologies have become important experimental tools for assigning functions to genes at the level of whole complexity of organism, creating models of genetic disorders, evaluating effects drugs and toxins, thus helping to answer fundamental issues in basic and applied research.
