The characterisation of mouse models for human diseases to understand molecular mechanisms of human disorders and for the development of new therapies.

To develop and offer a large scale standardised and comprehensive phenotypic analysis of mouse mutants from various sources (transgenes, knockout mice, mutants from mutagenesis screens like ENU).

We offer the examination of mouse mutants using a broad standardised phenotypic check-up with more than 240 parameters. The screens in the German Mouse Clinic are designated to the areas of behaviour, bone and cartilage development, neurology, clinical chemistry, eye development, immunology, allergy, steroidmetabolism, energy metabolism, lung function, vision and pain perception, molecular phenotyping, cardiovascular analyses and pathology.
