Technology platforms for genetic modification

  • Genome editing platform

    Based on the CRISPR/Cas9 bases genome editing technology different applications can be used. Service is provided during project planning, strategy design, genotyping/ colony maintenance and injection. The service is available by scientific cooperation. For details feel free to contact:

  • Small animal x-irradiation platform

    The recently established Precision X-Ray “SmART+” facility enables the precise locally ablative irradiation of tumors in small animal models. Cross sectional imaging with two different µCT imaging modalities (50µm and 20µm spatial resolution), several collimators for beam shaping, Monte-Carlo-based treatment planning and a high precision treatment table allow us to mimic the clinical image-guided radiotherapy setting. Furthermore, bioluminescence imaging in therapy position is possible, which allows functional tumor imaging.
