U87MG cancer model study

This week in BIOEMTECH Laboratories, we started implementing novel therapy schemes for the classic U87MG glioblastoma animal model. Anxious to see the results! Selective mice will also be imaged on β-eye to better highlight the results. 266 Views

Stem Cell Therapy

This week in BIOEMTECH Laboratories, we are evaluating stem cell therapy on a myocardial infarction rat model, through non invasive in vivo imaging. Watching blood circulation slowly building up, is definitely exciting! Images are still confidential, but intriguing publications are soon...

Muscle injury model studies

This week in BIOEMTECH Laboratories, we are setting up a muscle injury model, as established by our collaborators M. Marotta et al (DOI: 10.1055/s-0035-1555933), within the nTrack project. A novel stem cell therapy approach will be tested and cells will be...

New in vitro studies!

This week in BIOEMTECH Laboratories we also started culturing ovarian cancerous and non-cancerous cells, to be tested for their selectivity with photosensitizers. Α novel approach to evaluate and better understand photodynamic therapy (PDT) within the Polythea project! 228 Views

New eyes ready to ship!

This week in BIOEMTECH Laboratories two brand new β-eyes and a γ-eye are being evaluated in parallel mouse imaging. Soon they will be shipped and take part in exciting studies! 198 Views

Enabling high throughput SPECT/CT screening : a MOLECUBES – BIOEMTECH realisation

We are happy to be part of MOLECUBES webinar series 2020. On June 4th, 2020 – at 17:00 CET (11AM EST / 8AM PST), our application specialist and lab manager Dr. Maritina Rouchota, will share her experience using the γ- and...

Ex vivo biodistributions with your imaging system

One of the challenges when doing ex-vivo biodistributions is the need to wait for hours or even several days for the activity to decay before using a gamma counter. Now we prove that with the “eyes” it is possible...

One system for Radio-TLC and mouse imaging!

Having multiple systems in a radiochemistry lab can be a challenge in terms of space, complexity and mainly costs. In BIOEMTECH we are working on making molecular imaging with radioisotopes an easy, daily practice for all labs worldwide. We...

Laboratory Tour

BIOEMTECH had the pleasure of hosting “Kantas” private schools for a tour in their upgraded, uniquely complete, pre-clinical labs in Lefkippos Technology Park, NCSR Demokritos. Students had the chance to see how an integrated pre-clinical lab operates – covering studies from a cell level to...

How much does it cost to build a molecular imaging facility? Sharing our experience from BIOEMTECH new labs!

Dr. George Loudos, CEO of BIOEMTECH I. Introduction Many researchers believe that the cost of building a molecular imaging facility is driven by the cost of imaging equipment. And this cost is usually high and hard to afford for...
