requirements of the Institute
and the University. ICB has
inbred mice facilities with
International recognition.


Infrastructure for Research

ICB infrastructure is
compatible with the world's
best Universities, with last
generation laboratories,
including a Biosafety
Laboratory Maximum rating
NB-3 (Biosafety Level 3),
considered a national
reference, which allows
advanced studies in various
areas such as virology.


Infrastructure for Research

Laboratories are well equipped.

A Central Facility for the use of
modern techniques such as high-
resolution mass spectrometry,
gene sequencing, image analysis,
and flow cytometry has been
established to support the
biomedical scientific community.
