Structural and functional studies on cells.
The laboratory makes it possible to investigate cell morpho-physiology under normal and pathological conditions, or following modifications induced for research purposes. It is possible to perform transfection and viral infection experiments, cell viability assays, invasion assays, colony forming assays, cytology setup for immunostaining and analysis by flow cytometry of the cell cycle, proliferation and cell death.
The laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge instrumentation for cell dissociation, isolation and study of nucleic acids and proteins from different types of biological samples. From the culture of immortalized and primary cells in 2D to the culture of organoids and spheroids in 3D, experiments can be conducted in various conditions such as normoxia, hypoxia and/or anoxia.
