Animal Cell Culture Research Unit

Our research team is interested in animal cell culture research areas to assess the efficacy and toxicity of new drugs, vaccines and biopharmaceuticals, and also play a major role in assisted reproductive technology. Animal cell culture involves isolation of cells from a tissue before establishing a culture in a suitable artificial environment. Initial isolation of the cells from the tissues can be achieved by disaggregation using enzymatic or mechanical methods. The source of the isolated cells is usually an in vivo environment. Currently, our research include:

· Drug screening and development.

· Mutagenesis and carcinogenesis.

· Normal physiology and biochemistry of cells.

· Potential effects of drugs and toxic compounds on the cells.
