Description of the Service Centre
BIOALVO developed a proprietary bioactive discovery technology based on the use of yeast as a model organism–Global Platform Screening for Drug Discovery (GPS D2). This technology is extremely flexible and customizable. Depending on the desired activity, new assays can be developed for the identification of new ingredients/molecules with proven potency and safety.BIOALVO has already implemented assays for a wide range of markets, such as cosmetic, pharmaceutical, nutrition and household products
