shared services for life-science
CORBEL Catalogue of Services
Why do we need a Catalogue of Services?
Currently there are 13 biological and medical sciences Research Infrastructures (RIs) in Europe, all of them working jointly together in CORBEL towards offering shared services for life-science.
All RIs offer services, i.e. researchers from academia and industry can access their facilities, technologies and expertise. Services can simply be consultation, access to experts, but also access to data and biological samples, use of data analysis tools, access to facilities (e.g. highly specialised microscopes) plus support from technicians and much more.
The CORBEL Catalogue of Services is the first tool to list the main services of all these RIs at a glance and it aims to facilitate the utilisation of RI services by researchers from all over the world.
The Catalogue of Services as displayed below aims to provide you a basic overview on existing services within distinct thematic fields.
You can either use the Catalogue of Services to identify a single RI to help you with your work or you can create your own CORBEL service pipelines, i.e. using several RIs subsequently.
Examples of service pipelines are provided here.
>> In order to improve the catalogue, we kindly ask you to fill in a short feedback form.
Many thanks!

Contact person(s): INFRAFRONTIER Scientific User Support
INFRAFRONTIER is the European research infrastructure for the development, phenotyping, archiving and distribution of model mammalian genomes. It is formed by more than 25 research centres in 14 European countries and Canada. In INFRAFRONTIER these partners join forces to commonly advance the basic understanding of human health and disease using mouse and rodent models.
Services provided
Services offered by INFRAFRONTIER include
- archiving and distribution of scientifically valuable mutant mouse strains
- rodent model development (mouse and rat) using gene targeting in embryonic ES-cells or CRISPR/CAS9 technologies
- systemic phenotyping of mutant mice for a whole-organism view on gene function
- germ-free (axenic) mice
- validated genetically engineered mouse models of cancer
- access to comprehensinve expertise and training
Costs
Some of the INFRAFRONTIER resources and services are provided free of charge, others entail user fees to recover costs.
There are periodic Open Calls to fund researchers, for detailed information see the INFRAFRONTIER website.
For further information please contact us.
Access modes
Access modalities vary with the kind of resource or service requested.
For further information please contact us.
Why work with us
INFRAFRONTIER provides access to unique resources and expertise to advance the understanding of human health and disease using mammalian models. Our users can rely on highest quality standards and long-standing experience. INFRAFRONTIER’s one-stop-shop facilitates efficient research.
