Our research aims to the study of the mechanisms involved in the resistance of plants to biotic agents (viroids, viruses, bacteria, fungi) with a specific focus on the plant response to biotic aggressions. By using biochemical, molecular and mainly metabolomic approaches, we want to unravel the mechanisms underlying the adaptation of plants to pathogen attack. Our main goal is to develop new biotechnological strategies in order to obtain a sustainable control of plants pests and diseases.

Multiwavelength obsevational astrophysics of normal and active galaxies, and development of associated instrumentation

The group is dedicated to both observational cosmology, and instrumentation related to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and dark matter search. In relation to the former, we focus on the study of the cosmic microwave background, the mapping of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and radio and infrared galaxies.

Participation in experimental particle physics, hadron collider experiments. Participation in physics at future accelerators. R&D in detector technologies and future experiments in particle physics based on collider machines. Distributed computing for the CMS experiment at LHC. Phenomenology (theory and analysis) for LHC and LC physics, with emphasis in Higgs physics.

Since 2000, the group has been leading initiatives to develop computing techniques and infrastructures for simulation and massive data processing: European (EOSC, EGI), international (CERN Tier-2 CMS) and national (e-Science network and ICTS Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES), Altamira node, first official master's degree in Data Science).

The research group on Distributed Computing on Grids develops its work in the development of distributed computing architectures at pan-European level: federated identity systems for user authentication, advanced software for cloud environments, and data management in distributed infrastructures. The group puts special emphasis on the applicability to scientific use cases. In recent years the support has been concentrated especially in the areas of Particle Physics, Nuclear Fusion, Materials and Environmental Sciences.

The research lines of the group focus on the study of non linear and stochastic phenomena in physical systems by means of both teoretical-computational and experimental approaches. The group works in the study of high-dimensional chaos, as well as in the effects of noise and disorder in physical systems. On the theoretical side, the expertise of the group includes critical phenomena and phase transitions, nonlinear dynamics, nonlinear analysis techniques in time series, photonic systems, Monte Carlo simulations, integration of stochastic partial differential equations, and so on.

Established in 2008 with the inclusion of researcher J.M. Gutiérrez and part of his group, founded in 1999 at the University of Cantabria (UC, http://meteo.unican.es). With over 20 years dedicated to climate research, the group addresses theoretical aspects of its nonlinear dynamics and applied aspects such as simulation, processing, and analysis of meteorological and climatic predictions.

Research and development in methods and technologies related to the study of protein expression in humans and other organisms.

The group studies the contribution of vitamin K-dependent proteins and their receptors in human pathology. The processes of coagulation and immune response are intimately intertwined. Today we consider the mechanisms of coagulation, and more generally of hemostasis, as an integral part of the body's response to injury and are part of the activation cascades that lead to inflammation and thrombosis. Therefore, it is not surprising that genes for components of hemostasis have effects on the activation or regulation of inflammatory pathways.
