LAGENBIO
A19_23R
The LAGENBIO group carries out its research, development and innovation activities in molecular genetics and cellular biology on the level of fundamental research as well as applied to animal production, health, and the bioindustry. LAGENBIO is a founding member of the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG), and the only laboratory in Aragon participating in that society’s international comparison test that uses genetic markers to identify individuals pertaining to several animal species (bovine, equine, ovine, porcine, caprine, and canine), thus obtaining international differentiation and parenthood information on each of those species. Due to its widely recognized activity in the area of animal genetics, the Government of Aragon has selected LAGENBIO as a Regional Animal Genetics Benchmark Centre.
Apart from fundamental research, the group has established a considerable number of standing agreements and service cooperations with associations and individuals in the agrifood and health sectors, with the aim of transferring innovative methodologies in the area of molecular and cellular genetics to the agricultural and food sectors for their improvement.
