RATIONALE
The veterinary pathologists are happy to discuss any scientific project that would benefit from services provided by FCLAP.
- Do you currently undertake projects that could benefit from a more "holistic" approach?
- Are you planning animal experiments that could generate additional in situ or functional data of interest?
- Are you interested in project-applied phenotyping of your genetically modified mice?
- Are you facing unexpected deaths in your animal cohorts?
- Do you want to gain more knowledge on the pathogenic processes in a specific experimental setting?
With "yes", we encourage you to contact us (in English or Finnish) directly to discuss ideas/projects and to obtain further information, via email: Jere Lindén (jere.linden@helsinki.fi).
