The Nanobiointerfaces (NBI) groupis located in the « Campus CNRS Haute Borne » in Villeneuve d’Ascq.
We have three laboratories, two laser rooms, one BSL-1 lab (for molecular biology), one BSL-2 lab (for eukaryotic cells), one room at 4°C and two stock rooms (chemicals and consumables). We also share another one BSL-2 lab (for bacterial culture):
- the main lab (122) dedicated to organic and material synthesis
- the characterization lab (123) dedicated to chemicals and material analysis
- the third lab (125) dedicated to analytical techniques and electrochemistry
- the laser room (108) dedicated to laser irradiation and transdermal drug delivery
- the BSL-2 lab (153) dedicated to the culture of eukaryotic cell (human or animal)
- the laser room (109) dedicated to photo-electrochemistry and fluorescence microscopy
- the BSL-1 lab (113) dedicated to molecular biology
- the other BSL-2 lab (018) dedicated to the culture of bacteria (E. coli,…)
People interested in using our facilities and/or collaborating with us should contact Dr Rabah Boukherroub.
