What are the benefits of using our research facility?

Our research barrier allows access to a premium Göttingen Minipigs housing facility incl. a surgical suite. This enables the development, characterization, and validation of new Göttingen Minipigs disease models, but also provides the optimal facilities for exploratory pharmacology studies, surgical procedures, and training sessions.

You get access to our minipig experts who have broad experience within biomedical research and Göttingen Minipigs in particular. Likewise, we take care of the application for your study to the Danish Animal Experiments Inspectorate - a process, which typically takes 4-8 weeks
