Research Scope

The BioCore Team plays both advisory and collaborative roles in research projects within the institute as well as in international research consortiums (i.e. Max Planck-Bristol Center for Minimal Biology, Collaborative Research Centers of the German Research Foundation). Within our advisory roles, scientists are provided the environment to learn and develop new technologies in imaging and biomedicine. We collaborate widely, especially with synthetic/material chemists to elucidate biological responses in 2D, 3D cell cultures and in ovo models.

Available Technologies

Cell Culture
- Apoptosis Assays & Pathways
- Subcellular Transport & Targeting
- Cell Metabolism & Glycolysis
- Bioimaging
- Flow Cytometry
- Tumor Spheroids
- HET-CAM In-Ovo Models

Microbiology
- Aerobic/Anaerobic Bacteria Culture
- Bacteria Encapsulation
- Antimicrobials

Analysis
- Chromatographic Analysis and Separation of Proteins/DNA
- Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
- Gel Electrophoresis

In addition to the list above, the facility also partakes in method development in order to tackle the evolving landscape of biomaterial synthesis and cell biology. For further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us at biocore@mpip-mainz.mpg.de
