Clean room facility established According to principles of good manufact uring practices (GMP) .it has been prepared and processed stem cells for clinicalt rials and cell basedt herapies.

Cellular and Molecular Lab have been used different fields such as basic sciences, fundamental and practical researches. The main purpose of th is cent er provides services to professors, students and researchers to make a contribution in promoting the research levels. As a dynamic and constantly changing team, we cu rrently have researchers consisting of post-doctoral researchers, PhD students, and master's students. The laboratory has advanced cel l and molecular facil ities that includes cell culture room, Laminar flow hoods cabinets, microscope, incubator, laboratory, centrifuge, nit rogen, tanks western blot, PCR, Elect rophoresis, gel documentation and etc.

Behavioral neuroscience lab
The Behavioral neuroscience lab establ ished for basic and fundamental projects. Different an imal models of spina l cord injuries such as aneurysm clip compression and weight-drop contusion are carried out in mice and rats. Besides, various animal models especial ly in neuroscience are also created. The la boratory has various facilities and systems such as -70 and -20 freezers and refrigerated centrifuge.
