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

Our research focuses on developing computational methods to better understand human diseases. Main research lines:

  1. Ageing and Age-Related Diseases: Identifying expression patterns in neurological, cancer, and metabolic diseases to study ageing.
  2. Improving the understanding of molecular mechanisms in brain disorders: a) Generation of single-cell and spatial atlases to decipher sex differences in neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis); b) Identification of biological pathways in behavioural alteration pathologies (schizophrenia); c) Study of differential sex profiles in neuroinflammation associated with alcohol use disorders, through integrative multi-omics strategies.
  3. Finding novel biomarkers in cancer: a) Development and application of big-data analysis methods for the identification of novel diagnostic and progression biomarkers in cancer studies; b) Neurobiology of cancer: description of the role of the nervous system in oncological diseases and identification of possible clinical implications in oncology.
  4. Clinical targets and predictors in metabolic disorders: a) Detection of potential clinical targets in obesity, diabetes and MAFLD (metabolic associated fatty liver disease) through massive analysis of omics data; b) Clinical predictors based on high-throughput technologies and artificial intelligence methods.
