About us
The department FAFY is mainly developing research activities in the following domains: 1. The use of hepatocytes in culture and co-culture as a model for toxicity and biotransformation studies of xenobiotics: - Evaluation of the iso-enzyme pattern of hepatocytes in culture and co-culture; - Detoxification mechanisms of hepatocytes in cultures and co-cultures; - Biotransformation and toxicity of isobutene; - Biotransformation and toxicity of anti-epileptic drugs. 2. Dermato-cosmetics: - Efficiency measurements of dermato-cosmetic products; - Evaluation and standardisation of new and existing methodology for efficiency measurements of dermato-cosmetic products.
