Biochemical Lab
The Biochemical laboratory at the Faculty of Psychology (UoB) is located at the Department of Biological and Medical Psychology. The laboratory has established modern methods for analysing biomarkers from humans and animals and can meet most needs within psychoendochrinological research like classical hormones, corticosteroids and cytokines.
Main content
Our most common analyzed biomarkers are:
- Cortisol
- Corticosterone
- Melatonin
- Prolactine
- Cytokines e.g. IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFNy and TNFa.
