The facility has a variety of commercial crystallisation screening kits and incubators at 4 °C (Fiocchetti Medica 300) and 18 °C (FOC225i, VELP Scientifica). Crystallisation conditions can be screened either in 96-well plates or in 24-well plates in milliliter droplets. Crystallisation trials are monitored, visualized over time with Euromex Z-range by Euromex and Zeiss™ Stemi 2000-C & SV6 Stereo Microscopes and crystal images of high quality can be obtained with digital Canon camera.

Professor Elias Eliopoulos is the Director of the Genetics Laboratory at the Biotechnology Department of the Agricultural University of Athens (A.U.A.) and leads the bioinformatics and structural biology group. He is professor of Biochemistry, a biophysicist and crystallographer by training with considerable experience in biomolecular structure analysis, epitope mapping of protein receptors, genetic polymorphisms and variation, cloning, with experimental and computational methods, protein structure prediction, ligand and drug design, protein design, in silico antibody design and biosoftware development. The group has experience and international reputation on computational protein folding, ab initio and homology modeling of proteins derived from edge gene research and membrane protein modeling. The group is also involved in many ligand computational design projects for pharmaceutical, medicinal and agricultural applications.
