The project
These facilities carry out research focused on IMIBIC’s five scientific programmes: active ageing and frailty; nutrition, endocrine and metabolic diseases; infectious, immunological diseases and organ transplants; cancer and chronic and inflammatory diseases such as cardiovascular or kidney diseases.
The construction work began in 2011 and the installation of the equipment was completed during 2014.
Burdinola was responsible for supplying and installing the laboratory furniture, biological safety cabinets, fume cupboards for general use, fume cupboards for handling gamma and beta radiation isotopes, safety cabinets, ventilated cabinets for storing acids and bases, as well as stainless steel furniture for equipping the animal facility.
The new IMIBIC installations include laboratories and rooms of different types:
- General laboratories
- Laboratories for histology, proteomics, mass spectrometry, genomics and cytometry
- Safety laboratories for research with radioisotopes
- There are also rooms for cultures, microscopy, level P2 biosafety, cleaning, centrifuges and dark rooms
