Strategic Focus
The research approach has been strengthened through omic studies and the use of different bioinformatic approaches, including transcriptomics (RNA-seq, microarrays), metabolomics (metabolic reconstruction from genome and transcriptome, metabolic flow analysis), and a minor approach to genomics (sequencing of mycobacterial genomes, possibility of exomic analysis).
To be able to understand the mechanisms of pathogenicity of different Mtb strains and the progression and severity of the disease
Research Areas and Topics
- Autoimmunity.
- Transplant Immunology.
- Immune response in tuberculosis.
