Neurogenetics & Cancer Genetics

 

The study of variation within the genome allows to determine the predisposition to diferent diseases, Alzheimer, Parkinson, hereditary prion diseases, etc. 

​

The aim of Cancer Genetics is to study the genetic and molecular aspects of cancer, including cancer predisposition and clinical diagnostic applications. 

​

BIOMICs focuses on new discoveries that impact on the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
