The consortium and associated members
The PATHBIO project and its engaged partners are ideally constituted at the European level to develop a strong educational program for Mouse Precision Pathobiology.
- PATHBIO includes leading universities (UAB, UCAM, UCPH, FMV-ULisboa, Unina, and USFD) in the field.
- Five major European mouse clinics (CERBM-ICS, MRC Harwell, HMGU, IMG, and CNR) equipped with integrated facilities for production and characterization of genetically engineered mouse models are also part of PATHBIO. These mouse clinics are developing and using state of art mouse imaging technologies and have long standing expertise in pathology phenotyping along with the data-capture, annotation, and bioinformatic analysis capabilities to interpret the resulting datasets.
- Three of the largest producers and suppliers of mouse models worldwide heavily involved in drug research (CHARLES RIVER, JAX and TCP Inc) and a company leader in the field of preclinical imaging (FUJIFILM VISUALSONICS) are also essential partners of PATHBIO.
- FELASA and ICLAS are two important European and global animal science associations, representing common interests in all aspects of laboratory animal science in Europe and beyond, which are also integrated within the PATHBIO Consortium.
- The interaction with the Asian, Australian, South American and African Phenogenomics centers as associate partners, provides PATHBIO with a unique and preeminent global position to define a common and fundamental skill set and required knowledge to validate mouse models of human diseases.
The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) that represents the pharmaceutical industry operating in Europe specifically recognizes the benefits of the PATHBIO project.
