Laboratories
Availability of research-development installations that facilitate the execution of projects.
Experimental Neuropharmacology Laboratories
– Design of new chemical entities with potential neuroprotective effect.
– Preclinical studies (cell cultures, zebrafish and rodents) focused on research of new treatments for neurological diseases.
Laboratories of Experimental Oncology and Toxicology
– Evaluation of molecules of natural and synthetic origin with potential anticancer activity.
– Study of the molecular mechanisms involved in the response to different agents and the signaling pathways in cell proliferation and DNA repair.
– Development of toxicological studies of biological, natural and synthetic products, by means of standardized protocols.
– Research of novel drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Laboratories
– Design of antimicrobial and antiviral peptides with membrane destabilizing functions.
– Biophysical techniques for evaluating membrane destabilization and membrane models.
– In vitro/in vivo evaluations of antibacterial, antiviral and immunomodulatory activity.
Laboratorio Conjunto de Síntesis Química y Biomolecular (SYNTLAB)
SYNTLAB is a research and innovation facility dedicated to developing synthetic and conjugation methods for the preparation of bioactive principles, small-molecule drugs and modified biomolecules. The focus is on the development of neuroprotective agents, anticancer agents and antiinfectives. It is jointly directed by CIDEM and the University of Havana.
