BioLABThe establishing of the biological laboratories (BioLab) of the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry (IMMC) has been a response to a lasting need for an efficient link between preparing of polymeric materials that can be used in biological research, particularly in medicine, and instantaneous research into the effects of such materials on the behaviour of cell systems. The BioLab is a group of recently established biological laboratories focused on a detailed study of an impact the macromolecular substances may have on cell systems on the molecular and cellular levels.
The main objective of the BioLab is to set up a working and flexible interdisciplinary cooperation that would generate new knowledge, thus contributing to the application of biomaterials prepared at the IMMC in human medicine and other sectors (agriculture, veterinary medicine, environment protection).
The BioLab consists of four laboratories fully equipped with apparatuses and instruments allowing for the examination of the structure and functioning of genes, gene expression and its regulation, structural and functional relations between information molecules and polymeric biomaterials. The laboratories are also suitably equipped for cultivation of tissue cultures, identification of cell viability, examination of a wide range of cell line characteristics using biomaterials and research of cell signalling and cell death. Production and isolation of recombinant proteins is also a constituent part of the processes.
