Research group Medical Biotechnology
We address unmet medical needs using both enzymatic and cell based assays. Our field of expertise range from advanced eucaryotic cell cultures to microorganisms and viruses.
Contact person
We evaluate efficacy and safety of antibiotics, anti-viral compounds, cancer drugs and experimental formulations, and we do process development for biopharmaceuticals. We collaborate with national and international academic groups and industry.
