EMBRC Norway’s Marine Sites
How EMBRC Norway can support researchers
The infrastructure can grant access to unique marine biological resources, facilities, marine observatories, organism collections, culturing facilities, experimental and monitoring equipment, model organisms, and biobanks. It offers comprehensive support for fundamental research in marine life sciences, including molecular and cellular biology, ecology, and bioinformatics.
The Norwegian infrastructure allows researchers to access a wide range of marine sites. Visiting researchers can use EMBRC Norway’s analytical instruments, research vessels and sampling equipment. The convenient location of the ecosystems and equipment available make it easy to bring animals (including deep-water species) into the aquaria alive for study.
