Strategic Focus

To generate, verify, and disseminate knowledge at the scientific and clinical level directed towards the development of clinical and experimental allergology in the health and academic-scientific sectors. All of this is attained through the training and teaching of new researchers and through the design of programs and research projects in the clinical and immunogenetic areas of allergic diseases.

Research Areas and Topics

  • Occupational Allergy.
  • Clinical Allergology.
  • Experimental Allergology.
  • Molecular Biology and Genetics.
  • Clinical Epidemiology in Allergic Diseases.
  • Genetics of allergic diseases.
  • Immunomodulation.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Good health and well-being Quality education Gender equality Decent work and economic growth Industry innovation and infraestructure Climate action
