CENTER FOR NEXT-GENERATION BIOLOGICS RESEARCH (CNBR)

The department is responsible for the quality control tests including endotoxin, pyrogen, and physicochemical testing of blood products, vaccines, antibiotics and other biologics used in humans as well as in vitro diagnostic. The department also conducts research on the production, maintenance, and evaluation of the reference standards required for these activities, as well as related basic research. The department also studies host immune responses related to the safety of these preparations and conducts research on infection control measures for viruses and other pathogens transmitted through blood.

LABORATORY OF TRANSFUSION TRANSMITTED INFECTIOUS DISEASES

We conduct testing and inspection of plasma derived medicinal products such as human immunoglobulin preparations. We also conduct research on quality control for blood products and on infection control measures for viruses and other pathogens transmitted through blood.

LABORATORY OF TRANSFUSION MEDICINE

Evaluation and control of immunoglobulins (anti-D, anti-HBs), coagulation factors and blood-typing antibodies. Evaluation of In vitro diagnostic kits for blood typing. Establishment of national standard materials required for the evaluation mentioned above. Applied as well as fundamental research on the safety of blood transfusion.

LABORATORY OF BIOPHYSICAL CHEMISTRY

Physicochemical evaluation and quality control of biological products and their basic research. Evaluation of in vitro diagnostic kits for HBsAg and HCV related antibodies and manufacture and distribute in vitro diagnostic panels used in these product development. Research is being conducted on the diagnosis and treatment of viral infections, vaccines, and host immune responses.

LABORATORY OF SAFETY TEST

We conduct testing of plasma-derived medicinal products (albumin products, haptoglobin products). We also perform pyrogen testing and endotoxin testing for biological products. Our laboratory conduct research aimed at improving the safety and quality evaluation of biological products, as well as research related to diagnosing viral infections.

LABORATORY OF MATERIALS ANALYSIS

Development of novel modalities and research on the interaction and structure of biological materials.
