Laboratory of Cellular Toxic-Genetic Analysis

Aims

• Aoply the eukaryotic cell culture technology in cellular and molecular biology for human and animal health

Research Areas

• Chemical and environmental mutagenesis
• Antimutagenic activity associated with plant extracts and bioactive compounds present in human diets

Techniques and Services

• In vitro Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus assay (CBMN - Cytome) in various cell lines
• In vitro Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis assay (SCGE, also known as Comet Assay) in various cell lines
• Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
• Cell viability assays
• Methodologies based on cell cultures aiming at the investigation of chemical and environmental toxicity and at the evaluation of the modulator effect of different substances on the action of genotoxins
