THE HISTORY BEHIND OUR AMPHIOXUS FACILITY

Our amphioxus facility is the product of more than 15 years of research and field work aimed to reproduce the amphioxus natural habitat in the lab.
It has grown over the years a complex ecosystem very similar to that of coral reefs with diverse species of invertebrates and meiofauna that at present cohabit with our amphioxus.
It provides our lab with a constant supply of amphioxus for our research and it is our main space to develop new methods to work with amphioxus in vivo.
