Description of activities
The LBMCC is a laboratory of fundamental research. It is interested in:
- molecular mechanisms implicated in the development of resistances against chemotherapeutic agents;
- the differentiation therapy based on an approach where malignant cells are treated in a way that these more immature cells may differentiate into more mature cells;
- the development of novel therapeutic approaches based on compounds of natural origin.
The LBMCC is involved in two European projects:
- CORENA-Network; to promote the use of natural products and to form a network between researchers, the industry and Universities. Website: www.corena-network.eu
- RedCat-Network; an initial training network for experienced and early stage researchers. Website: www.redcat-network.eu
Products and services
As a service provider, we collaborate with different chemist groups or companies in order to quantify specific natural compounds or assess biological effects of extracts or purified compounds regarding cell death and inflammation mechanisms. We have the ability to test and/or screen for any kind of natural or synthetic compounds. For the moment we are assessing the effect various garlic and curcumin compounds and different compounds from marine and plant origins. They are all tested for their potential anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
