The research groups promoting the Joint Laboratory are:
FBK-SD: Microsystems Technology (MST) Research Unit
CNR-IBF: Biomolecules and Biological Membranes Research Unit
CIBIO-UNITN: Next Generation Sequencing Core Facility (NGS-CF)
LABSSAH, through an interdisciplinary collaboration approach, is distinguished by:
expertise in micro- and nanotechnologies, which underpin:
- the development of more efficient methods for the extraction and processing of nucleic  acids for sequencing
- the creation of innovative research and diagnostic systems
the ability to combine genomic analysis of pathological cells with structural analysis derived from molecular imaging expertise, allowing for a more complete profile of the characteristics associated with a given pathology;
the presence of various complementary skills at the FBK-SD center (e.g., microfluidics, sensors, and microelectronics), useful for the development of innovative diagnostic systems for research and based on the knowledge developed in the Laboratory.
