Use of Drosophila as a model for the study of human pathologies of genetic origin

Description

We are using several approaches to study human genetic diseases in Drosophila in order to dissect their pathogenesis pathways and identify biomarkers for diagnosis and/or progression, as well as to discover molecules with therapeutic potential.

Keywords
