Laboratory of Cellular Immunology and Nanobiotechnology (LCIN)

 
The Laboratory of Cellular Immunology and Nanobiotechnology (LCIN) is a division of the Institute of Ecology and Genetics of Microorganisms, which operates under the Perm Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. 
 
Established in 2022, LCIN was formed through the integration of the Laboratory of Ecological Immunology’s research group and the Laboratory of Aquatic Microbiology. Under the leadership of Dr. Mikhail B. Rayev, LCIN is dedicated to advancing knowledge at the intersection of immunology, nanotechnology, and environmental science.
 
Research Focus Areas:  
• Interactions between nanomaterials and immune cells;  
• Immune system dynamics during pregnancy: differentiation, maturation, and functional activity of immune cells;  
• Development of monoclonal antibodies using hybridoma technology;  
• Synthesis and application of nanomaterials for immunoassays;  
• Investigating the impact of pollutants on aquatic microorganisms;  
• Discovery of chemical stimulants for microalgae growth.  
 
Our laboratory is committed to conducting cutting-edge research that bridges fundamental science with practical applications in immunology, nanotechnology, and environmental sustainability.
