Central platform for standardization and development of animal models and histopathological analyses (S02)

• Subject Area: Pathology
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 322900939

This central platform provides intensive support to all researchers of SFB/TRR219 in standardized animal models for CKD-CVD, functional in vivo analyses, and reproducible tools for the assessment of cardiac and renal histo-pathology. In this context, this platform has intensively and successfully cooperated with all consortium partners within the first funding period. For the second funding period, the service project aims to continue this intensive support and collaboration of the entire consortium on animal models and histo-pathological analyses and further refine existing and develop novel models and analysis tools.
