Activity area(s)
The Biopathology/LB platform (BLBL) develops different methodologies and technologies such as pyrosequencing, Sanger sequencing, and Next Generation Sequencing from tissue and biological (circulating free DNA) samples, tissue microarrays (TMAs), CellSearch and ISET/Screen cells technologies for circulating tumour cell detection and characterization, laser capture microdissection, virtual digital imaging, immunolabeling and automatized in situ hybridization system, qPCR, Agilent technology for arrays lectures
Presentation
The Biopathology and LBL platform is certified according to the S96-900 norm. This platform is located in a specific part of the Laboratory of Clinical and Experimental Pathology and has been recognized to be a platform of the Canceropôle PACA in 2012. The team working on this platform associates some biopathologists, some ingeniors and lab technicians, as well as biostatisticians and bioinformaticians
