Research Programs
& Groups
Biology of Disease
Decoding molecular and cellular pathways linked to the disruption of physiological homeostasis leading to major diseases. Development of new therapies, using cutting-edge experimental and informatics approaches from single-cell to systemic levels.
Coordinator: Juana Díez
PROGRAMS
Molecules, Genes,
and Cells
The Molecules, Genes, and Cells Program unites diverse research groups to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying health and disease. Using a multidisciplinary approach—including molecular biology, genetics, immunology, and neurobiology—we study both normal and pathological processes in various model organisms, supported by advanced computational methods.
Coordinator: José Ayté
PROGRAMS
Systems Biology and Biomedical Engineering
Use of systems biology and biomedical engineering to gain a deep, quantitative understanding of biological systems. Research focuses on creating and implementing novel biomedical and clinical solutions.
