Strategic Focus

The group seeks to generate basic and applied scientific knowledge on various general subjects related to genetics and biotechnology, such as pain and human anthropology. Thus, the group aims to develop innovative proposals that are valuable enough to attract companies interested in their transference. Finally, as a result, the group expects to improve its research areas and further contribute to the training of new researchers.
