The Laboratory of Applied Hydrobiology aims to adequately educate undergraduate students and postgraduate young scientists in the field of Aquaculture (fish, molluscs and crustaceans farming, phytoplankton and zooplankton culture), as well as to perform related basic and applied research in order to combine, in the most effective and rational way, production, protection of aquatic environment and welfare of farmed species. Its Infrastructure consists of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (sea and fresh water) with a total of more than 200 tanks of various sizes and equipment and facilities.

The ABCTU is an internal partnership between the laboratories of the Department of Biotechnology and the Center for Applications of Cell Biological Technologies (KEKYTE), established within AUA in order to promote both basic and applied research.

MBL has extensive experience in gene cloning, transcriptomic analysis, metabolite analysis, genetic transformation of plants and microorganisms, expression and characterization of recombinant proteins.

LCT has a long track record in toxicology research in vitro, in particular the assessment of toxicity of pesticides and mycotoxins, as well as research oriented towards the identification of natural bioactive compounds with pharmacological potential, in particular dopamine agonists/antagonists and anticancer drugs.

LCT’s activities relate to the design of methods and products and the provision of know‐how and Research & Innovation services in a wide range of thematic areas, including: Evaluation of the activity of pharmaceutical agents, natural compounds and other samples with bioactive properties in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo; Evaluation of material biocompatibility in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo; Quality assessment of cosmetics; Development and application of diagnostic methods, techniques and tools; Creation and maintenance of cell culture depositories; Cell biology and biotechnology .

To develop manipulative experiments on marine organisms, the marine station in Calpe (Alicante) of the lMEDMAR‐UCV has a water close circuit system. The system is provided with a computer profilux 3.1T (eX) and sets of oxygen, pH, conductivity and temperature proves as well as filters, coolers, and heaters for experiment and control units.

Development and scientific and technological innovation of Biotechnology and Biomedicine.
The San Alberto Magno Translational Research Center (CITSAM) aspires to stimulate research in the area of Health at the UCV. Among the infrastructures available, CITSAM has research laboratories at the San Carlos Borromeo and Santa Úrsula headquarters, as well as at the Valencian Institute of Pathology (IVP).

6 fully equipped laboratories in Santa Úrsula with a variety of sampling instrumentation and material to handle from invertebrates to microbiological samples, and molecular biology, as well as specific technical facilities for Biotechnology such as bioreactors, photobioreactors, thermal cyclers, chromatographs, cell line cultivation and specialized microscopes.

Among the IVP facilities we have an independent area free of formalin, and with delimited areas for human and veterinary diagnostic tests. There is a space dedicated to Molecular Biology for both PCR and FISH. The IVP also has a space to diagnose the determination of HPV in cytology.
