The Lab

Our BSL2-labsuite consists of rooms for cell- and bacteria culture, RNA biology, microscopy, and standard molecular biology/biochemistry. It contains equipment for next-generation sequencing, Taqman® low density arrays, flow cytometry, Luminex® bead arrays, ion-mobility spectrometry, fluorescence video-microscopy, RT-PCR, qPCR, Western blot, colorimetric and fluorimetric assays. In addition, we have access to a robotic platform with automated microscopy and a multi-target reader, and the clinical pulmonological laboratory.

The lab is located in a state-of-the-art biomedical research center with labs and animal facilities from BSL1 to BSL4. It provides core units for FACS-sorting, electron microscopy, radionuclide work, small animal imaging (MRT), as well as conference and teaching suits. 

Our neighbours are the institutes for immunology, microbiology, and virology, and a newly constructed building with cores for life-cell microscopy, and the genomics unit with an RNAi-screening platform.
