The research area of the Molecular Medicine Laboratory is the study of plant polyphenols and protein extracts and their effect on laboratory animals. Plant extracts are used on Lab animals, which have various diseases or pre-disease developments caused by chemically toxic substances. Both endemic and unexplored plants common in the Caucasus region are used to obtain polyphenols and protein extracts in the laboratory.
Pathomorphological Laboratory
