Research
Research at the LBC is focused on droplet-based microfluidics for applications in biology. In recent years we have developed this powerful technology that we now aim to use and further develop to address challenges in the following fields:
- Evolutionary biology
- Drug Discovery
- Industrial biochemistry, bioprocesses
- Diagnostics
- Therapeutics
Our research is balanced between fundamental and applied projects. The success of our researches have led to the creation of 3 start-up: HiFiBiO, Biomillenia and Cyprio.
