Technological Platforms

The scientific platforms at VIMM provide advanced technical support for research, offering services in cell and molecular biology, microscopy, cell analysis (flow cytometry), tissue analysis, biobanking, and laboratories for preclinical experiments. Each platform is managed by specialized staff and designed to facilitate innovative research projects.

Biobank

The Biobank collects, preserves, and distributes stem cells that can differentiate into multiple tissue types. These cells are essential for developing new therapies and for improving our understanding of diseases.

Advanced Microscopy

The advanced microscopy platform offers sophisticated microscopes—such as fluorescence and confocal systems—that enable highly detailed and precise observation of cells and tissues.

Citofluorimetria & Cell Sorting

The Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting platform allows researchers to analyze and separate cells according to their characteristics, helping identify specific cell types and better understand how they function.

Cellular and Molecular Analysis

A certified and safe environment where researchers can modify cell DNA in a controlled manner, using viral vectors as tools — always in full compliance with safety regulations.

Viral Transformation

Researchers have access to a certified space for viral transfection activities. Here, controlled genetic modifications are performed on cellular models, ensuring the highest safety standards and full compliance with biosafety regulations.

Histology and Histopathology

The Histology and Histopathology platform helps researchers study the detailed structure of tissues and cells to understand how they function and to identify possible alterations or diseases.

Preclinical Platform

The preclinical platform is a highly controlled and regulated space dedicated to advanced research studies for the development and assessment of new therapies, in full compliance with safety and welfare standards.
