The mission of LNBio’s Facilities and Services division is to incorporate methods to produce essential information and attain outstanding scientific results. This division plays a fundamental role in executing, refining, and developing experimental approaches, expanding laboratory infrastructure, and encouraging research innovation. With a new modern equipment complex, it directly supports the Center’s lines of activity. Highlights are the specialized labs such as the Protein Crystallization Laboratory, which collaborates with X-ray diffraction in LNLS-Sirius. The Spectroscopy and Calorimetry Laboratory studies macromolecules, while the Bioimaging Laboratory uses advanced techniques in collaboration with LNLS-Sirius and LNNano, adopting a multidisciplinary approach.
Advanced methodologies have revolutionized our understanding of biological processes in health and in illnesses, offering new opportunities for early diagnosis, to develop personalized therapies, and to discover prognostic biomarkers
The group’s objective is to test technology and expertise to evaluate the structure and activity of proteins and their interactions with small molecules (pharmaceuticals and drugs) or macromolecules (DNA, RNA, and carbohydrates), making it possible to identify modifications in metabolic profiles and potential alterations in metabolic pathways
The group specializes in the characterization of biomolecules, from the synthesis of oligonucleotides and peptides to the crystallization of proteins. Its expertise lies in the biophysical and structural characterization of proteins, macromolecules, nanoparticles and polymers in solution
