Biological collections from Karubiotec research programs
K arubiotec has declared various research programs which are supported by biocollections of the same name.
These collections of biological samples come from the remains of studies that have ended but also from the remains of biological samples from care. The objectives of this research are mainly to increase knowledge for diseases that are more represented in Guadeloupe and the Caribbean.
