BIOCHEMISTRY LABORATORY
The Biochemistry Laboratory has a wide range of highly accurate and validated methods for quantification of a plethora of parameters regarding the secondary stress response applicable in acute and chronic stress physiological research across vertebrates. In particular, parameters involved in metabolic (e.g. glucose, lactate, etc.), cellular (e.g. heat chock proteins, cytokines, etc.), osmoregulatory (e.g. osmolality, etc.), hematological (e.g. hematocrit, etc.), and immune (e.g. cytokines, etc.) related changes are analyzed.
BIOMOLECULAR LABORATORY
CELL BIOLOGY LABORATORY
MASS SPECTROMETRY LABORATORY
The Mass Spectrometry Laboratory has a wide range of highly accurate and validated methods for quantification of a glucocorticoid profile regarding the primary stress response applicable in acute and chronic stress physiological research across vertebrates. In particular, glucocorticoid profiles consisting of the dominant hormone, its precursors, endogenously present phase I metabolites, and most abundant exogenously present phase I metabolites in various tissues are analyzed with unique and patented methods.
MORPHORMETRY LABORATORY
The Morphometry Laboratory has a wide range of highly accurate and validated methods for quantification of a plethora of parameters regarding the tertiary stress response applicable in acute and chronic stress physiological research across vertebrates. In particular, parameters involved in structural (e.g. shape, etc.), and elemental (e.g. calcium, etc.) related changes of bony structures are analyzed.
