PolyLAB
- lab of polymer synthesis will carry out chemical synthesis of key substances for the activity of the Centre. The lab will focus on surface-initiated controlled polymerizations of molecular polymer layers on surfaces and their application. Special attention will be paid on preparation of chemical structures that can be selectively recognized by molecules of biological systems (eg. cell surface receptors) and synthetic analogs of bioreceptors for construction of biosensors and in tissue engineering.

InterfaceLAB
- lab of surface analysis will characterize samples created in CPS laboratories. It will focus mainly on physical, physico-chemical, spectroscopical and imaging techniques allowing micron, sub-micron, and atomic resolution of analyzed surfaces. Techniques like XPS spectroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsomentry, NMR-Imaging, dynamic contact angle measurent and many others will be used in the InterfaceLAB.

SensingLAB
- lab of polymeric sensors will benefit from materials and knowledge gain in other labs of the Centre or partners of the project. Special attention will be paid to the interaction of polymer surfaces with complex biological fluids and on innovation of systems that will specifically interact with desired substances or subjects. The applications in biotechnologies and in diagnostics will serve for development of sensors for detection of pathogens, toxins, pollutants, and disease markers.
