Translating fundamental scientific discoveries into clinical applications and public health improvements is the core goal of biomedical research. Because animal models are essential for achieving physiologically relevant results, our Rodent Facility serves as a valuable resource, advancing our scientists\u2019 understanding of various human diseases and driving the development of innovative treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We support scientific research involving the use of mice (Mus musculus<\/em>) and rats (Rattus norvegicus<\/em>) while maintaining the highest standards of animal welfare. We are committed to the conscientious use of laboratory animals, advancing research through ethical practices and fostering a culture of care and respect for these animals. Recognized by the Portuguese competent authority, Dire\u00e7\u00e3o-Geral de Alimenta\u00e7\u00e3o e Veterin\u00e1ria (DGAV), our facility is licensed for breeding and animal use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Operating across two sites in Lisbon and Oeiras, our facilities work synergistically to support high-quality biomedical research. This collaboration enhances our capabilities by optimizing and sharing resources, fostering scientific progress, and improving research outcomes. Our facility is overseen by a specialized team dedicated to upholding legal and ethical responsibilities to ensure the humane use of laboratory animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Iolanda Moreira | Tel: +351\u200b 217\u200b 999\u200b 411<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lisbon site | @: imm-rodent@medicina.ulisboa.pt<\/a> | Tel: +351\u200b 217\u200b 999\u200b 411<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oeiras site | @: jbom@igc.gulbenkian.pt<\/a> | Tel: +351 214407921<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udd17<\/strong> <\/strong>Virtual tour (Lisbon Site)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/imm.medicina.ulisboa.pt\/facility\/bioterio\/virtual-tour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
