LABORATÓRY OF BIOMECHNICS AND PROTEOMICS

Responsible person: doc. RNDr. Marianna Trebuňová, PhD.
location: Letná 9, main bulding, ground foor B-block, room B-P009

Focus of the laboratory

The laboratory is focused on diagnostic operations, analysis of solutions, observation of preparations and the basics of microscopy using light microscopes. Students can thus deepen and verify the acquired theoretical knowledge from subjects such as Basics of Anatomy and Physiology or Biophysics.

The equipment of the laboratory was supported by the project KEGA 023TUKE-4/2020 "Increasing the synergy of biophysics teaching methods with the use of laboratory equipment and diagnostic devices aimed at measuring physical and technical quantities"
