This part of the research center has been equipped with an ABI 3500 Sequencer since 2016. Since 2018, this laboratory has provided sequencing services to numerous academic and research centers in the country. In addition, researchers and students from universities throughout Iran use the sequencing services of this center.

 

 

Given that this laboratory is equipped with up-to-date equipment, it is now able to provide services to researchers inside and outside the center.

It should be noted that the karyotype test was re-launched in 2022.

 

 

The Molecular Cell and Basic Heart Research Laboratory is currently equipped with a cell culture room, a biomarker assay section, a gene expression analysis section (DNA extraction, RNA extraction, real-time PCR, etc.), and immunohistochemistry. In addition to conducting research projects and student theses within the center, this laboratory has provided many scientific and research services to other scientific and academic centers since 2018 and has held training workshops for various target groups including faculty members, general practitioners, and medical science students.
In the cell culture section, 9 research projects have been carried out specifically in the field of cell culture on HUVEC, VEC, PBMC, and Mesenchymal cells, which were related to projects within the center, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tarbiat Modares University, Shahid Beheshti University, Islamic Azad University, Medical Sciences Branch, and Pharmaceutical Sciences Branch.

Immunohistochemical techniques have been set up for CD31, CD34, smooth muscle alpha-actin, and von Willebrand factor, and research projects have been conducted within the center in this field, and theoretical and practical workshops on this technique have been held for faculty members inside and outside the center.

Also, in 2012, cloning setups (to examine micro RNA expression and new therapeutic targets), MTT (to examine cell viability), and RNA sequencing were launched in this laboratory.

 

This laboratory is specifically capable of performing and providing the following services:

DNA and RNA extraction,

Performing various types of PCR (RFLP, Regular PCR, RT-PCR, etc.)

Examining the expression of various genes with Realtime PCR technique

Extracting miRNA and examining the expression of miRNAs with Realtime PCR technique

This laboratory also held the workshop "DNA extraction methods and types of PCR" and "RNA extraction methods and types of Real time PCR" in 2022, which was well received by students and researchers inside and outside the center.

In 2022, this center succeeded in launching laboratory techniques (MTT and cloning) and bioinformatics (RNA sequencing data analysis) and is now ready to provide services to researchers inside and outside the center.
