Molecular and Genetic Basis of Multiple Sclerosis and other complex diseases

Identification of regulatory variants and causal genes in multiple sclerosis and associated pathogenic activity. The identification of causal variants and genes and disease-related dysfunction is essential for the establishment of molecular pathways and mechanisms of disease, for the rational design of therapies and diagnostic systems and prognosis applications. Search of genetic, molecular targets, pathogenic and etiologic mechanisms, functioning and application in diagnosis, disease progression and treatment of neurological diseases and other complex diseases. The group must be positioned in the VIDA area. We also do work within the intersection of VIDA-SOCIEDAD areas, given our interest in the study of the effects of eating habits, sports and lifestyle with the susceptibility to multiple sclerosis.
