The Biochemistry and Cell Biology area is equipped with various instruments useful for the biochemical and functional characterization of proteins and small molecules, including the study of signal transduction in marine organisms. The available equipment includes homogenizers for cell destruction, chromatographic systems for the purification and characterization of proteins, spectrophotometers for enzymatic assays.

The area of Functional Genomics is devoted to the localization and perturbation of gene expression during embryonic development in marine organisms. This area is organized into dedicated two platforms:

• Gene perturbation
• Microscopic observations

The Gene Perturbation platform is equipped with the necessary equipment for the transformation and culture of embryos of marine organisms.
The area is equipped with: a puller to prepare microinjection needles, an electroporator and three microinjection setups necessary for the transformation of zygotes.
Refrigerated incubators and a thermostatic chamber (walk-in) are also available, for the growth of embryos at the required temperature (typically 15, 18 and 20°C).
