Group of Atmosphere, Aerosols and Climate
Group of Atmosphere, Aerosols and Climate
The Atmosphere, Aerosols and Climate Group (GAAC) (9 persons), studies the composition of the atmosphere, climate change and air quality. Goals:
O1. Composition of the atmosphere, aerosols and climate. The study of the influence of man and natural processes on the composition of the atmosphere, especially the composition and properties of atmospheric aerosols that influence biogeochemical processes and climate.
O2.

Nucler Receptor Signaling
Nucler Receptor Signaling
Our group investigates the transcriptional and epigenetic control of immune in homeostasis and disease, with a particular focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying the actions of nuclear receptors. We use a combination of macrophage-specific knockouts, mouse models of disease, in vivo imaging, and next-generation sequencing technologies combined with bioinformatics approaches.

RAS SIGNALING AND LUNG CANCER
RAS SIGNALING AND LUNG CANCER
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths both in Spain and worldwide. In addition, the 5-year-survival rate of less than 20Ͽas barely improved over the last decades. Approximately one quarter of these tumors are driven by mutations in KRAS, but so far no selective therapeutic strategy has been approved for these patients. Although inhibitors against a subset of KRAS oncoproteins have shown promising results in early phase trials, the majority of KRAS-mutant tumors will not benefit from these inhibitors. Moreover, resistance to these targeted therapies is a major concern.

Physiology and technology of reproduction in swine
Physiology and technology of reproduction in swine
The group has a long history of work in the Department of Animal Reproduction of INIA. Its projection in the swine sector has been developed through technology transfer related to reproduction and other fields related to this function (health, feeding and genetics). To achieve these goals, INIA has carried out many competitive projects, agreements and contracts with other institutions and companies at national and international level.

PSSD, Plant Signaling in Stress and Development
PSSD, Plant Signaling in Stress and Development
Plant Signaling in Stress and Development group (PSSD) is focused on the study of the mechanisms that regulate plant immunity in Brassica crops. We aim to identify and characterize new immunomodulators (compounds, genes, and molecular networks) that allow a better understanding of plant stress responses and help to build up more resilient crops.
Main specialization
Assisted reproduction and preimplantation embryology in bovine
Assisted reproduction and preimplantation embryology in bovine
Our research focuses on the analysis of early embryonic development in vivo and in vitro in mammals, the understanding of mechanisms controlling embryo-maternal interactions (reproductive fluids, Extracellular Vesicles/Exosoms, Organoids, Assembloids etc), the study of factors responsible for infertility in dairy cows, and the development of strategies reducing embryonic losses and increasing pregnancy rates.
