Laboratory of Pathogens and Host Immunity

Zebrafish facilities

ZEBRAFISH IS AN ANIMAL MODEL OF CHOICE FOR RESEARCH IN DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY AND FOR THE STUDY OF EMBRYOGENESIS

More recently, it has emerged as a particularly advantageous model for the study of infectious processes and the resulting immune responses, in connection with various human pathologies.

LPHI hosts a zebrafish facility that is part of the ZEFIX platform from Biocampus Montpellier.

We offer different types of services. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information and prices.

The LPHI zebrafish facility is managed by a team of zootechnicians who are in charge of:

  •  the breeding, rearing and feeding of the fish
