Expertise
The BBV research unit is fully equipped for plant metabolite analysis, plant and yeast cell culture, transformation and transgenic biology of several plant and yeast species, with a focus on medicinal plants and plants with agronomic interests. The laboratory contains the main equipment and facilities required for all the experiments in plant molecular biology, plant cell biology and phytochemistry. The laboratory is also well equipped with biotechnology infrastructure such as climatic chambers and a dedicated room for the manipulation of in vitro plant cell cultures. Green house space for transgenic plant growth is also available at BBV. The University campus and other research centers in the region offer complementary equipment for “omic” analysis such as transcriptomic, metabolomic, and proteomic that are included in some of our programs.
