DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF NOVEL COMPUTATIONAL METHODS AND STRATEGIES FOR THE CHARACTERISATION OF HUMAN DISEASES

The advance of high-throughput technologies, the increase in biological and clinical knowledge, and the potential of computational approaches provide an exciting research scenario for the generation of novel and useful biomedical knowledge. The research of the Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Unit is carried out within this scientific framework, focusing on the following lines of research: 

  1. Characterisation of sex differences in neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis) using multi-omic approaches and medical imaging.

  2. Development and application of big-data analysis methods for the identification of new diagnostic and progression biomarkers in cancer studies.

  3. Clinical predictors based on high-performance technologies and artificial intelligence methods.
