Viral Transformation

Our Institute hosts a Biosafety Level 2 (BL2) laboratory, specifically designed to ensure maximum safety when handling biological materials that require controlled conditions — such as viral vectors used for cell transfection. The facility is equipped with specialized infrastructure that guarantees the protection of operators, the environment, and research materials, in full compliance with national and international biosafety regulations.

Instrumentation

Laminar Flow Hoods

Certified laminar flow hoods for the safe handling of biological materials.

Fluorescence Microscopy

Used for the safe, real-time observation of genetically modified cells — for example, after viral transfection with fluorescent vectors.
