Core provides infrastructure (A1 and A2 zoned) and technical expertise for standardized husbandry, breeding, experimental use of rodent and health monitoring (SPF and SOPF zones) in compliance with regulatory and ethical guidelines. The platform offers technical services such as Surgery on brain and spinal cord, Behavioral tests (anxiety, depression, cognition, motor/locomotor and visual parameters, spontaneous activity, USV recording etc… ), embryo transfer. Training and technical support are available for rodent handling, experimental design, and data reproducibility.

Core provides support for research teams using non-human primate models in scientific projects. It combines specialized biomedical infrastructure, neuroscience expertise, regulatory guidance and qualified technical staff to ensure the housing, monitoring, handling and experimental use of monkeys in accordance with ethical and regulatory standards. It offers technical support for experimental procedures (A2 facility, several imaging techniques), behavioral training, and neurophysiological investigations as well as gene and cell therapy projects (in collaboration with PBI’s TIDU GENOV unit).

Core offers workspaces and equipment for your histology techniques, as well as advice, training, and services.

Facility provides infrastructure and technical expertise for maintenance, breeding, and experimental use of Danio rerio. The facility ensures standardized husbandry, health monitoring, and traceability of zebrafish lines in compliance with regulatory and ethical guidelines. Services include colony management, maintenance and distribution of wild-type, mutant, and transgenic lines, and support for experimental workflows. The platform offers technical services such as embryo microinjection (e.g., genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9), phenotypic screening, fin clipping for genotyping, and in vitro fertilization. Training and technical support are available for zebrafish handling, experimental design, and data reproducibility.

Vectorology Core Facility (part of the Cellular Engineering and Vectorology platform) provides specialized, high-level expertise, tools, and services for designing, producing, and validating viral vectors used in neuroscience research and gene therapy development.
