Institutional Project: Production of biomolecules of therapeutic interest: joint, empowerment and strengthening of multidisciplinary institutional capacities in CIQUIBIC
Institution: CIQUIBIC. Participants: Researchers from CIQUIBIC
Support: $ 1,000,000 / year. Granted by CONICET, starting on March 2017 for 5 years
Aim: As part of the institutional objectives of CIQUIBIC, this Project is directed to strength biotechnology-based interdisciplinary research projects among different groups of the Centre establishing transversal ID+ i nodes. To this end, we have established the following institutional objectives:
Area I: Identification, design, and production of biomolecules with potential use in human health.
Area II: Structural, biochemical and biophysical analysis of biomolecules and development controlled release strategies.
Area III: Activity of biomolecules in cellular-based assays and ex vivo and in vivo animal models.
