Biotechnology

The Biotechnology Division performs Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-certified in vitro studies during the toxicology, efficacy and pharmacokinetic testing of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics. We also apply genomic- and proteomic-based technologies to pharmacogenomic, molecular-diagnosis and genetic-susceptibility assessments.

Our expertise in the fields of molecular biology, protein biochemistry, immunochemistry and microbiology also enables us to develop highly specific and sensitive biorecognition molecules and to immobilise them for subsequent application in biosensors. Likewise, we develop biodetection systems for both human, animal and environmental health and for food traceability and safety.
