About
In our laboratory; Diagnosis of medicinal and aromatic plants and poisonous and harmful plants, morphological and anatomical studies, pharmacopoeia analysis and quality control studies are carried out. In vitro biological activity studies are carried out on extracts, fractions and pure substances obtained from plants that are traditionally used and contain potential drug candidate molecules.
