Medical Biotechnologies

Numerous research projects impact on key aspects of molecular medicine and health biotechnologies, like cellular senescence, response to oxidative stress or infections, stem cells and differentiation, drug delivery, laboratory diagnostics. Innovative therapeutic approaches are currently being investigated using recombinant molecules (vaccines), antibodies, cells, and small molecules. Most of the research groups exploit cellular and animal models of the diseases under study and several projects are largely based on the computational analysis of biological phenomena.
