Lab
Vertical laminar flow clean bench MSC Advantage, MINI V/PCR1, Thermo Scientific. Our cultures cannot thrive unless we make sure that other microorganisms will not share the plate. To help achieve an sterile ambient so only the cultures we want can grow, the vertical laminar flow created act as a «door» that maintains the inner chamber free of contaminants.
384 microplate Filler, QFill3, Genetix. In just a few seconds, this gadget can fill the 384 tiny wells of a microplate with the few microlitres needed of the reaction mixture to use for our assays. You can see it in action here.
Liquid-handling robot, Primadiag, Eyown Technologies. For more complicated protocols, we make use of this robot, which assist us in the automation of assay protocols.

Prof. Manuel Ferrer
Coordinator
M. Ferrer graduated in Chemical Sciences by the University of Granada in 1994. In the same year, he began his scientific career at the Institute of Catalysis that belong to CSIC (CSIC-ICP), obtaining his PhD in 1999. In January 2001 he started a postdoctoral stay at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Germany, after which he returned in October 2003 to the CSIC-ICP with a Ramón y Cajal fellowship. In June 2006 he was appointed Científico Titular.
