Research Facilities
Cutting-Edge Laboratories

The laboratories were equipped with mammalian cell culture, Class II Biosafety for Lentivirus, microbiology, molecular biology, cell-based assays, purification systems and synthetic chemistry facilities. There is also an animal holding facility with state-of-the-art caging and maintenance system for experimental animals.
An Environmental Health Laboratory equipped with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrophotometry (ICP-MS) machine was set up for the testing of toxicants such as heavy metals in environmental, water and food samples and is accredited with ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
General Laboratory for Researchers
Research Laboratory support research activities by providing bench spaces to each research projects that has been approved by the IMU-JC. The duration of in-lab shared bench and sink space are renewable, subject to IMU-JC approval.


Analytical Research Laboratory
This laboratory specialises in characterizing the chemical and isotopic compositions of materials, including the ability to provide direct micron-scale analysis of environmental, cosmetics, herbal and food samples.


Microscopy and Imaging Facility
The facility provides powerful resources for imaging model organisms, tissue, cells, biomaterials, and artificial structures and houses state-of-the-art equipment including Digital slide scanning system, almost every light microscopy imaging modality, bench top electron microscopy and inverted microscopy imaging system are presently available.


Animal Holding Facility
The facility is responsible for the care of animals used in research. It house 2 units of individually ventilated cages for rodents, holding areas for open cages, animal transfer system and biosafety cabinet.

Synthetic Chemistry Laboratories
This facility supports research in natural product chemistry, and other research chemistry towards organic synthesis. The lab also supports synthesize compounds of interest to the pharmaceutical industry, natural products and functional organic materials utilizing developed methods.

Cell Culture Facility
This facility supports research by providing space, equipment, and cell cultures (mammalian). The facility provides cultures for researchers to bring to their labs for experiments, biosafety cabinet, incubators, centrifuges, refrigerators/freezers, and microscopes.
Flow Cytometry
Flow Cytometry Core Facility is a shared resource facility providing support research needs in flow cytometry and cell sorting. Flow cytometry sorting involves using a flow cytometer with cell sorting capability to interrogate cells stained with fluorescent markers, classifying them into groups, and then physically separate the groups into test tubes or multi-well plates.
