Specialized Laboratory Support

From idea development, project guidance, data analysis to experimental work

Imaging & Bioinformatics

Support with advanced imaging and computational tools for modern biological research. Services include support with confocal microscopy using fluorescent proteins and dyes, as well as guidance navigating key biological databases such as NCBI, FlyBase, Saccharomyces Genome Database, and the Yeast Gene Order Browser. Support also includes data retrieval, annotation, comparative analysis, and interpretation.

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Engineering

Choose from a range of molecular and genetic approaches, including plasmid cloning, genetic and genomic modifications, transgenic gene expression, and the development and establishment of fly and yeast mutant strains. Services also include mRNA and DNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, qRT-PCR, gel electrophoresis, Southern and Western blotting, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry. Support is tailored to help design, execute, and interpret experiments with clarity and precision.

Biochemical & Metabolic Analysis

Specialized techniques for studying metabolism and biomolecules, including Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), lipidome data analysis, and biochemical profiling. These services support investigations into metabolic pathways, dietary effects, and molecular composition, with assistance in both data generation and interpretation.

Model Organism Research: Fly & Yeast Systems

Comprehensive support in Drosophila and yeast research, including fly and yeast husbandry, mutant development, tissue- and developmental-stage specific expression, and dietary effects on fly metabolism. Yeast services include fermentation, metabolism, and growth analysis. Guidance is available for experimental design, strain construction, and functional studies in these powerful model systems.

Data Analysis & Visualization Support

Comprehensive support in data analysis using R, including statistical testing, data cleaning, and the creation of clear graphs.
