Area of expertise

The generation and use of reliable and adequate animal models are essential tools in biomedical research.

The CRCHUM’s animal transgenesis and modelling core facility offers its academic and industrial partners several animal modelling services based in part on CRISPR-Cas9 technology, for which it received a user licence from the Broad Institute in 2017 and from ERS Genomics in 2023.

Since the establishment of this service, we have developed a deep expertise acquired through 34 projects including classical KO models, specific point mutations and conditional KOs (insertion of loxP).

The core facility’s team can also provide you with customized support and expertise tailored to the specific needs of your research projects.

We are confident that we can assist and accelerate your new projects that require animal modelling.
