The Laboratory of Cellular and Microfluidic Technologies creates physiologically relevant cellular and tissue models of plants, animals and humans for significant advances in the development and screening of new drugs, disease modeling, tissue bioengineering, biotechnology and cell therapy.
Main areas:
- Methods for culturing plant, animal and human cells;
- Stem cell management based on the “niche-relief” concept;
- Influence of oligosaccharides on the membrane potential of macrophages;
- Zeta potential of scaffolds for traumatology and orthopedics, cardiovascular surgery;
- Synthesis, chemical and biological testing of micro- and nano-sized capsules of various chemical compositions as systems for intracellular delivery and release of drugs and biomolecules;
- Basic technologies for managing stem, healthy and pathologically altered cells based on microfluidic technologies, tissue bioconstructions, drug delivery systems and biomolecules for personalized translational and regenerative medicine;
- Methods of treatment and reconstruction of volumetric bone defects in bone tumors, including using the principles of “cellular biochips” and “tissue bioconstructions”.
Facilities and Equipment:
- Clean rooms with a sterile air flow ventilation system (0.22 µm);
- Climate chamber for growing plants and plant cell cultures (South Korea);
- SurPASS 3 zeta potential analysis of solid surfaces (Austria);
- CELL-WAV series Automated Cell Expansion System (China).
