This program under is designed to encapsulate and facilitate research projects focusing on the intricate dynamics between genetic predispositions and environmental factors in the progression of chronic diseases, excluding cancer. This initiative aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms and pathways that underlie these diseases, thereby paving the way for targeted interventions and therapies.

Disorders within the cells, the fundamental building blocks of life, lie at the core of all human diseases. This program provides information on various projects aimed at improving human health, possibly as diagnostic, preventive or curative therapies. These are collaborations with several research institutes supported by various grant programs.

In this project genetic engineering and functional genomics approaches will be used to describe molecular mechanisms of FMF. Using DNA/RNA samples obtained from FMF patients and healthy subjects MEFV nanopore gene sequencing will be performed to identify genetic variants and possibly find novel putative functional variants. The impact of genetic variants on transcriptome landscape will be studies by RNA-sequencing using nanopore sequencing device. Based on MEFV sequencing data and patients clinical ...

This project focuses on studies around brain disorders and ageing.
