Cancer immunotherapies
We produce recombinant viral vectors for vaccines and advanced therapies, using recombinant DNA technology to modify cells in order to express or silence a molecular target
Cancer immunotherapies
Cancer immunotherapies Home /Advanced health technologies Immunotherapy is a clinical mode of treating cancer that complements conventional therapies like surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. While surgery and radiotherapy are used for local treatment, chemotherapy and immunotherapy are applied systematically. Chemotherapy blocks non-specific mechanisms associated with cell division, while immunotherapy stimulates the immune system to strengthen…
Biologicals
We establish scientific and technological competencies for pharmaceutical inputs, including lineages to produce recombinant proteins for innovative medications and biosimilars
Biologicals
Biologicals Home /Advanced health technologies Medications derived from biotechnological processes have revolutionized therapeutic strategies for various diseases. Recombinant proteins like the monoclonal antibodies used to treat cancer, for example, are produced in cell lines. These, in turn, must be established in laboratory structures that are equipped to construct vectors for expression, cell transfection, selection of…
Tissue engineering
Tissue engineering for 3D culture and bioprinting with therapeutic applications and to develop alternatives to animal testing that are robust and mimic in vivo assays
Tissue engineering
Tissue engineering Home /Advanced health technologies Tissue engineering looks for alternatives to transplants, developing materials to replace, repair, or regenerate defective tissues, overcoming challenges such as limited organ availability and chronic rejection. The group works to develop therapies using biofabricated tissues that can be applied in cardiac and dermatological dressings. In Brazil, LNBio is one…
Advanced gene therapy resources
We develop gene therapies using CRISPR/Cas9 to correct mutations, working towards safe and effective therapeutic applications for human genetic diseases that do not yet have medical alternatives
Advanced gene therapy resources
Advanced gene therapy resources Home /Advanced health technologies Gene therapy is part of an innovative class of treatments known as advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs), which has been developing internationally for over a decade and has demonstrated scientific and technological advances that are favorable for treating hematological and ocular diseases and some types of cancer.…
Proteomics
This group uses proteomics data based on mass spectrometry to discover markers for diagnostics, prognostics, and new targets for diseases such as cancer, for example
Proteomics
Proteomics Home /Advanced health technologies The robust nature of proteomic analysis, from a single cell to tissue, lies in its capacity to reveal potential markers and therapeutic targets with the potential to impact the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various cancers, including those that affect the head and neck. Head and neck cancer is the…
