The Research Centre for New Biologically Active Compounds Potentially Useful in Medical Diagnostics was opened at the Faculty of Chemistry in the Institute of Organic Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology.
The new centre at Lodz University of Technology will carry out interdisciplinary research on the broadly defined borderline between chemical, biological, medical and life sciences. They pertain to the search for compounds useful in modern medical diagnostics, as well as new biologically active molecules, and are part of a set of issues of great importance to human health and safety.
As part of the Centre, two independent laboratories have been retrofitted to form a complementary research network of the Faculty of Chemistry at TUL: the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory, focused on structural and metabolomic studies of biologically active compounds - run by Prof. Łukasz Albrecht, and the Laboratory of Mass Spectrometry and Coupled Techniques, focused on studies of non-volatile and macromolecular biologically active compounds and proteomic studies - run by Prof. Beata Kolesińska.
