“I evaluate the quality of services provided by the CCP Department of Histopathology and Biochemistry & Hematology extremely positively. The team headed by Dr. Juraj Lábaj always met our current requirements. Communication was clear and helpful from the first moment. Every member of Dr. Labaj’s team was, in case of request, always willing to provide useful professional advice.”

“My group has been collaborating with and using services of the Czech Centre for Phenogenomics (CCP) since it was established. Thanks to CCP’s excellent expertise and adoption of the newest technologies, we were able to obtain many mouse models using TALEN and, later, CRISPR technologies. I also highly value CCP’s assistance with phenotype analysis, particularly with complex novel phenotypes where their expertise and advice helped us a lot to understand biological roles of studied genes.”

“I am most deeply impressed by the professionality of the CCP. Specifically, the interaction with your colleagues, who analyze our ARHGAP11B-transgenic mice, has been a real pleasure. It is clear to me that your colleagues are top-notch experts. I think you should be proud of the CCP that you have built up! It certainly is a world-class center!”

“After several unsuccessful gene targeting in mouse embryonic stem cells, using traditional methods and also CRISPR/Cas9, we approached CCP Transgenic Unit to help us to create a mouse model with single nucleotide exchange in the gene of our interest. They created the strategy, optimized conditions, injected mice and in four months we received first chimeras and in few weeks got germ line transmission. For very reasonable price. Perfect!”

“The Czech Centre for Phenogenomics has been providing us with FFPE blocks and histological sections from physiological and tumor tissue samples for many years. Their work is highly professional, precise, and consistently of excellent quality. The processed samples are delivered very quickly, which greatly facilitates our subsequent experimental work. Even non-standard requirements, such as very short delivery times or specific delivery arrangements, have always been accommodated whenever technically possible.”

“The CCP Group is very professional, reliable and pleasant. We have worked together in the field of microCT imaging for mouse embryos and can only recommend this platform. Everything was to our complete satisfaction and what’s more, we gained a lot from this collaboration and optimized our work as a result.”

“Great collaboration and perfect service! The team demonstrated exceptional skill in providing us with a comprehensive histological analysis of mouse adrenals in the first model of autoimmune Addison’s disease. It is not easy to capture a professional snapshot of an inflamed adrenal gland, but the team was able to describe the pathological changes in the cortex of the adrenals using a combination of HE staining, Oil red staining, and F4/80 histochemistry. I would also recommend slide scanner analyses as they saved us a lot of time. Overall, I highly recommend this team for their expertise and excellent service.”

“Dear Jana,

I am so happy about that!!! It is very efficient. We should go to your facility to learn! …….”

“My research group has been in close contact with CCP for more than 5 years. Their excellent assistance with the mouse models has been essential for several high profile studies we have published in the last two years. Currently, we are analyzing together novel mouse knockout strains with the exciting phenotype. I very much appreciate CCP expertise in the phenotyping of both embryonic as well as adult mice. We would not be able to get that far without their help.”

“Requests for histological processing are handled reliably and within an appropriate timeframe. Overall, I consider both the management and staff of the unit to be highly accommodating, professionally skilled, and very willing to collaborate, which greatly contributes to efficiently meeting our research needs.”

“Over the past five years, my lab has worked with the CCP on several projects, including in vivo drug testing, phenotype analyses and the development of new transgenic mouse models. I am always impressed by the scientific and organizational level that we find at the CCP. The presence of such a center in Czechia gives my research an edge that we used to find only at the best US universities. Well done CCP!”

“Cooperation with the CCP workplace is a very pleasant experience for us. The whole process is professional at every step and is carried out with the utmost care and attention. Their work maintains a consistently high quality. The prepared tissue FFPE and cryo blocks demonstrate high technical skill and precision and every step of the process is controlled with regard to the optimal result and our needs. I appreciate that all our cooperation is conducted in a very friendly spirit. The CCP team is always available, willing to answer our questions, or respond very quickly and flexibly to changes in our requirements. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the service and are happy to recommend CCP to anyone looking for professional and reliable processing of their tissue samples for their research activities.”

“We established a collaboration with the CCP for a knock-out mouse model. They are highly professional and cooperative and offer a wide range of detailed analyses that have enriched the quality of our project. In our case, the gene they deleted is a noncoding RNA (ncRNA), and although the functionality of this class of genes is poorly characterized and their phenotypic analyses can lead to non-canonical outputs, they immediately join this challenging project with dedication and carefulness. We also had the opportunity to visit the institute, and we were positively impressed to see such a fully equipped facility. Highly recommended!”

“We appreciate the excellent work that your team is doing on our project of preclinical testing in mice infected with Hepatitis B.”

“We closely collaborate with the CCP for over four years and we have had only the best experience. Together we generated multiple mouse models of inducible and tissue-specific mitochondrial deficiency, which took our research to a whole new level. Everyone at the CCP has always been very helpful whenever we needed advice or practical help. We are happy to have the opportunity to work together and we plan new challenging projects for the future.”
