New infrastructure for diagnosis and treatment of patients

About this project

<p style="text-align: justify">The purpose of the project is to contribute to the improvement of public health, lowering inequality of health provision and increasing social cohesion and employability in Cyprus. More specifically, the project aims to strengthen research through the development of new infrastructure for conducting functional studies related to various diseases. This will be achieved by utilising the existing Norwegian-funded Translational Facility and analysing pathological samples for genetic research, biomarker discovery and other cutting-edge disciplines, towards early detection, reliable diagnosis and personalised disease management of affected patients with many diseases, such as neuropathologies, neuromuscular diseases and haemolytic anaemias.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Main&nbsp;activities shall include:</p> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify">purchase of equipment needed for diagnosis (i.e. flow-cytometric cell sorting equipment, cell electroporation equipment for virus-free cell manipulation, bioimaging equipment, etc.);</li> <li style="text-align: justify">development of new diagnostic services and therapeutic approaches;</li> <li style="text-align: justify">hands-on staff training in cutting-edge methodology.</li> </ul>
