Mission
The Canadian Neurophotonics Platform Viral Vector Core (CNPVVC) is located at the CERVO Brain Research Center.
The platform provides the CERVO community, the Quebec and Canadian researchers services in molecular biology, gene transfer technologies and the generation of transgenic animals through the production of viral vectors.
Our Services are also available to all academic researchers throughout the world. The CNP Viral Vector Core allows researchers to have access to consultation, technical assistance or to order a turn-key project for which our team takes care of all the steps from the draft strategy to the delivery of the finished product.
Additional services include developing genetic tools that allow the expression of fluorescent sensor proteins used in imaging of the nervous system.
Our team
The CNP Viral Vector Core keeps growing over the years, thanks to its staff of talented people.
