MOLECULAR AND DEVELOPMENTAL GENETICS
The lines of research include the study of:
- Proliferation, differentiation and signal transduction in Drosophila and human cells.
- Non-coding RNAs, RNPs complex and their biotechnological applications.
- Heterochromatic genes and chromatin remodeling in Drosophila.
- Sexual genes determination in dangerous insect and their biotechnological applications.
- Trascriptomics and bioinformatics applied to the study of dangerous insect.
- Identification of genes involved in flower development.
- Epigenetic changes, histone modifications and chromatin plasticity mediated by the MYC oncogene.
- Proliferation, adhesion and inflammation in primary and transformed cells.
- Epithelial differentiation and transformation.
- Effects of plant extracts and probiotics of eukaryotic cells.
