Metabolism Research Center

Equipment and expertise to develop in vivo studies in rodents in the context of preclinical development of new drugs, whether they are chemical entities or biological treatments (e.g. monoclonal antibodies), this includes proof-of-concept studies, pharmacokinetics, drug distribution, local tolerance and toxicity. We have a specific facility to carry out the experimental procedures that, in addition, is registered in terms of GLPs to conduct studies under this certification.

• In vitro toxicity and oxidative stress studies, in different cell lines, which allow the safety and efficacy of test products under development to be established.
• Analysis of biochemical parameters (metabolites, hormones, enzymes, proteins, fatty acids, etc.) employing spectrophotometric, fluorimetric, chromatographic, electrophoretic or radioactive techniques, in biological samples and in products under development in the biomedical, cosmetic and food sectors.

• Animal experimentation facility to perform procedures on rodent models. It is registered as a GLP facility.
• Gas chromatograph coupled to mass spectrometer.
• Self-analyzing equipment of clinical parameters.
