The Cell Biology Lab is situated in room number 411 on the third floor.
The lab is involved exclusively with translational Research activity. The lab has so far developed a cost-effective technology for rapid culture of human epidermal keratinocyte stem cells towards the production of Cultured Epithelial Autografts. In the process, the lab produced two patents and several publications so far. The product is fully characterized and is ready for clinical translation. The lab is further involved with the development of similar but non-xenogeneic products and employs routinely the mitotic Index assay using BrdU labeling, specialized culture methods, clonal analysis, Immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, flow-cytometry, PCR etc.
The lab is currently looking for a commercial collaboration for large-scale clinical application studies in burns patients with the Cultured Epithelial Autografts as recommended by NAC-SCRT. A dedicated Clean Room facility is also being planned at the main building of the institute for growing clinical grade Cultured epithelial Autografts. The clinical trial is planned
in collaboration with the Burns Division of Safdarjung Hospital.
