Future developments

Besides REFUGE, project proposals are submitted to other funding sources by the founder units to develop new technologies which once optimized will be established as a new service on the platform.

Research aiming at setting up replacement and targeted integration of genes through homologous recombination are pursued. Beyond the hosting of scientists conducting their own research on the platform, REFUGE will organize 2-3 week hands-on workshops aiming at initiating scientists from the South to functional genomics strategies. Information will be provided on the web site.
