The Immunology Research Core Facility houses several shared/common equipments and machines for immunobiology investigations. The facility has two units of microplate readers (Biorad iMark) and (IEC, ELISA Reader). Moreover, protein studies are supported by Protein Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis and Western Blotting set up. The core facilities will be having its major renovations and is expecting to house the latest facilities on immunology particularly a Flow Cytometer and a microsphere-based high-throughput protein/DNA/receptor/cytokine analyzer (X map Technology System).
The UPM - IBBC is organizing a Training Program for Laboratory Biosafety and Biosecurity Officers to commence in the second quarter of 2016. The main objective of the program is to develop a pool of local trainers who will undertake advocacy and continuing education on laboratory biosafety and biosecurity. At the end of the training, the trainers are expected to be competent in the following areas:
*Biosafety and biosecurity risk assessment *Laboratory vivarium Biosafety and Biosecurity *Biocontainment practices and procedures *Biocontainment facilities *Use of safety equipment *Incident response procedures *Infectious substance transport *Biosafety program management *Management of transgenic materials *Regulatory framework of transgenic materials
The training will entail at least ten modules, each of which with duration of two weeks, scheduled on July 18-29, 2016; September 18- October 1, 2016; and November 20- December 3, 2016.
