Description and purpose of the Research Infrastructure

The Biomechanics and Living Systems Analysis (BioLISYS) lab, located in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at Cyprus University of Technology, is a research group that combines interdisciplinary skills from engineering, biology and medicine to provide solutions to clinical problems associated with cardiovascular, cancer and other diseases. Mission: -To develop innovative diagnostic, monitoring, therapeutic approaches and interventions for various diseases, -To study and assess the functionality of implants, devices and novel biomaterials, -To develop scaffolds that exhibit biomimetic physical and biological properties with the native target tissue, -To identify biological markers and mechanisms/pathways in disease development and peri-implant inflammatory response, -To use novel non-invasive imaging techniques to understand the dynamics of cellular mechanisms in cancer development and other inflammatory diseases, -To monitor tumor growth in animal cancer models and evaluate the response to innovative therapeutic strategies, -To study the fluid dynamics of blood using in vivo and in vitro modeling with experimental and computational techniques.

INFORMATION OF INSTRUMENTATION OPERATING IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE

Individually Ventilated Caging System

Name: Individually Ventilated Caging System
Description: The laboratory covers a space of approximately 300 m2 and includes a fully licensed small animal facility equipped with the necessary infrastructure to support and execute animal, tissue culture and molecular biology studies. The laboratory is particularly equipped to carry out in vivo investigations using novel imaging systems that are developed by the group.
Units: 1
Hosting Laboratory / Department: Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering at Cyprus University of Technology (CUT)

Brief description of the utilization of the instrument:

The laboratory and its researchers bring significant resources and experience in multidisciplinary academic and clinical translation-oriented projects that involved SMEs and clinical research associates from local and US hospitals.
