Chormosome Instability and Tumorigenesis

Gastric cancer (GC) is still the fourth main cause of cancer related death all over the world. Its high prevalence and the lack of efficient…

Telomere diseases and experimental therapies

Most of our projects are centred in the study of rare diseases related to the maintenance of the telomeres, named telomeropathies or telomere biology…

Molecular control of metabolic homeostasis

Our work is focussed on the study of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the development, cell differentiation and function of pancreatic islets.…

Hearing Neurobiology and Myelinopathies

Study of the molecular basis of hearing, pathology of hypoacusis and myelinopathies Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent medical problems. It is…

Regulation of gene expression and metabolism in bacteria

Our work is aimed at identifying and characterizing the global regulatory networks that allow bacteria to modulate the expression of their genes in…

Intracellular bacterial pathogens

Our group is interested in deciphering at a molecular and cellular level the mechanisms involved in infectious processes caused by intracellular…

Bacterial engineering for biomedical applications

Our research is aimed to engineer E. coli bacteria for biomedical applications, including the selection of small recombinant antibodies and the…

Genetic Stability

The goals of the research group are to characterize the role of the repair (which are required for error-free DNA repair), and genetic recombination…

Stress and bacterial evolution

The major interest of the group is to understand the bacterial responses to stress. We specifically study hypermutation and hyperrecombination as…
