Committed to quality!
Speed

Results are obtained in just a few days due to the rapid development of the model, in addition to meeting the global scientific commitment to the ethical use of experimental animals.

Security

The fish are kept and bred in our aquarium, with limited access to qualified personnel to monitor their health and that of the water.

Precision

The zebrafish has 87% genetic similarity with humans, making it a highly predictive model.

UNQ/CONICET Professionals
