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.
