core facilities

proteomics, genomics and bioinformatics

provides biological information for researchers in order to identify diagnostic and therapeutic targets and determine the mechanisms by which drugs function.

imaging

offers full service support to all CIMA laboratories in the areas of imaging and quantitative image analysis.

support services

As backup for the work in all 4 research divisions, there are 3 support services:

1. Animal Facilities: essential for developing in animals the treatments that will later be applied in people.
2. Biological Sample Bank: this service, belonging to the University of Navarra, collects, stores and provides human biological samples for research. Furthermore it provides a service in histological techniques through the Morphology Core Facility.
3. Instrumental techniques: Irradiator (inactivator of cell proliferation and experimental bone marrow transplant in mice), cytometry (identification and separation of cell populations marked with fluorochromes), microPET (positron emisión tomography for use with animals), sequencing (reading of DNA bases) and 3-Tesla Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
