Application of molecular phylogenetic inference methods to sequence data from ultra-sequencing to the determination of new genomes.
Real-time PCR is a technique that combines amplification and detection in a single step by correlating the PCR product of each cycle with a fluorescence intensity signal. They consist of a thermal cycler coupled to an optical system, which monitors the signal of the fluorophores used to detect the amplified product. Because the fluorescence of the fluorophores increases as the product is amplified, the amplification and detection processes are combined in a single step.

Laboratory with high-tech biomechanical tools and an important team of psychiatrists and psychologists making functional and neurocognitive assessments by offering three services:
- Neurocognitive Assessment: clinical and comprehensive neurocognitive assessments are carried out and the affected people as well their relatives are treated in order to guarantee a quality and independent life.
- Biomechanical Assessment of Human Functions: it provides objective and quantitative information on functional repercussions of a pathology in a person’s activities and functions, becoming an additional tool for health workers in the control of functional deficiencies of the musculoskeletal system.
- Gaze monitoring system (TOBII): it allows the recording and analysis of the gaze which can be used as an assessment and rehabilitation tool. Providing information in various fields of knowledge as an interpretation of human behaviour.
Breeding and maintenance of insects, dissection of their central nervous system
An ultrasound is a diagnostic device used to perform ultrasound scans. High-frequency sound waves generate image sequences of organs and formations within the body.
