Animal Cell Culture Laboratory

This lab focuses on various research activities, including the use of basis cell lines and cancer cell lines. Cultured cells are the starting point for a variety of investigations into differentiation and proliferation of normal cells and their pathological counterparts, in disease like cancer. The facility is well equipped with laminar flow hoods, CO 2  incubators, microscopes, freezers, and cryopreservation containers. The aim of this facility is to focus on the discovery of natural and their synthetic novel medications as well as various drug combinations for effective therapeutic applications such as cancer.
