Welcome to CF-LAS

The Core Facility Laboratory Animal Services (CF-LAS) is a central service facility for biomedical research at Helmholtz Munich and ensures the breeding and housing of rodents (mice and rats) and fish (zebrafish). We support users with various services related to animal welfare, training, and experimentation.

Our Core mission

The CF-LAS research and development programs are devoted in particular to laboratory animal hygiene, reproduction biology and animal welfare as well as to modeling human diseases. These research activities are the scientific basis for our services.

Since 2011 I am leading the Core Facility Laboratory Animal Services. In CF-LAS we offer state-of-the-art animal husbandry including veterinary care under high animal welfare standards and rely on the latest technologies, some of which we helped to develop ourselves.
