Zebrafish core facility
The zebrafish facility at Karolinska Institutet is the largest zebrafish core facility in the Nordic countries. Our core facility offers everything from the provision of animals, technical training to the running of complex research projects.
We welcome both internal and external academic research groups, as well as non-academic customers, to our core facility. No previous experience with the zebrafish model is needed.
