Laboratory
Biophysics – Electrophysiology
Our laboratory combines molecular biology and electrophysiology to support experimental research. We specialize in cloning, molecular analyses, and physiology.
To support modeling predictions with experimental data, we established a combined molecular biology/electrophysiology laboratory. Our staff has expert knowledge in diverse cloning techniques, molecular analyses, electrophysiology and plant, and environmental physiology. The laboratory gathers researchers involved in basic and applied science projects (Fondecyt, Fondef, Nucleo Milenio, among others)
