Investigation of the role of the immune system in infectious diseases, allergies, parasitic infestations, tumour growth, transplantation and immuno-deficiencies |
| Molecular Biology |
Application of molecular techniques to study mainly infectious diseases, prenatal diagnosis and genetics pathology coordinated with Microbiology and Genetics Departments. |
| Genetics |
Detection and investigation of chromosomic alterations in biological samples (amniotic fluid, blood, chorial...) and genetic counselling related to the results, coordinated with Molecular Biology and Haematology Departments. |
