Effective services and products dedicated to various research programs targeting the microtubule cytoskeleton (oncology, etc.)
Introduction
Microtubule cytoskeleton plays several major roles in cells. It is particularly important during mitosis, when microtubule-based bipolar spindle assures chromosome partitioning between daughter cells. Failure to properly segregate chromosomes in mitosis is frequently associated with cancerogenesis and tumour progression.
Ecometrix is expert in the field of atmospheric chemistry and the metrology of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and, in particular, industrial emissions resulting from combustion and incineration processes. The organisation has developed an innovative, high performance sampling methodology that is particularly suited to complex gaseous matrices.
In vivo high throughput screening of antigenic target
Introduction
Certain gram negative bacteria possess a complex protein secretion apparatus known as the type three secretion system (TTSS) which delivers effector protein into the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells in order to modulate host cellular functions.
Medicinal Chemistry of Polyphenols : their potential use as bioactive compounds
Introduction :
A team from the Department of Medicinal Chemistry is expert in the extraction of natural active substances as well as in the development and synthesis of analogues. These new synthesized compounds can prove to be highly advantageous to companies interested in identifying new molecules of therapeutic and cosmetic value.
The department has patented a number of inventions related to the use of polyphenol derivatives in pharmacy and cosmetology which in turn have led to the commercialization of active polyphenols in cosmetology. These factors may differentiate the department from other laboratories and can potentially lead to reduced lead times necessary for synthesizing or extracting new molecules.
