Our laboratory
The laboratory is equipped with instrumentation for cell cultures, protein analyzes and gene expression studies. The various techniques we apply range from studies of cytotoxicity, cell death, autophagy, invasion and metastasis, analysis of inflammatory markers and more, silencing and gene transfection, pharmacological synergism studies and other cellular and molecular biology techniques. Preclinical models are composed of 2D or 3D cell cultures, microfluidics cultures or animal models.
