The Facility
Our team at the BMC comprises researchers from neurosciences, behavioural and computer sciences in addition to mechatronic engineers and technical assistants especially trained in behavioural phenotyping of rodents.
The BMC diagnostics laboratory is equipped with the most recent technology for behavioural diagnostics and phenotyping of rats and mice. Twenty behaviour analysis rooms house about one hundred diagnostic testing procedures for neurological and psychiatric function in rodents.
