Due to the subject matter of the groups forming part of the centre the units which will be included in the centre would be:

• Cell Culture Unit: unit provided with the equipment (cabins, liquid nitrogen containers, inverted microscopes, etc.) and technical staff necessary for the maintenance of cell cultures required at the different centre lines.

• Nanoimaging Unit: composed of different equipment for imaging, both in vitro and in vivo. From which the following can be noted: fluorescence microscopy, confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging.

• Spectroscopy Unit:equipped with different spectroscopic instruments, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers and absorption and fluorescence spectrometers to characterize and analyze the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials.

• Flow Cytometry Unit: Unit equipped with cytometries and FACS to analyze both cells and nano or microparticles.

• Molecular Biology Unit: molecular biology basic unit equipped for the development of various molecular biology techniques such as Q-PCR, PCR, DNA and protein gel, purification by FPLC, etc.

• Animal facility: this unit will accommodate laboratory animals required to carry out pre-clinical trials regarding technologies and products developed in the centre
