    EUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA

    INTEGRATION

    BIOCEV is currently a member of three European

    infrastructures Infrafrontier, Euro-BioImaging andInstruct

    All these are part of ESFRI

    Membership in Elixir is currently under negotiations

    Integration of these projects under one roof putsBIOCEV into a special position in the context of theCzech research institutions

    INFRAFRONTIER

    Infrafrontier is the European infrastructure for

    Phenotyping and Archiving of Model MammalianGenomes

    The Goal: to define the function of all mouse genes andin this way model the gene functions in man

    Infrafrontier brings together partners from twelveEuropean countries and Canada

    Scientific partners are the leading research facilities in

    the field of systemic phenotyping, archiving anddistribution of mouse models
