Analysis of the spatial distribution of aquatic organisms in relation to the environment and dispersal processes.
Genetic structure and population differentiation in continental zooplankton. Local adaptation. Genetic and genomic diversity. Genetic markers associated with adaptive traits. Gene dispersal and flow.
Glaucoma research. Identification of genes and molecules involved in glaucoma. Cellular bases of glaucomatous disease. Application of omic sciences to the study of glaucoma.
Genetic and cellular study of developmental processes in Drosophila, such as embryonic dorsal closure and the establishment of epithelial planar polarity, used as models of processes relevant to human health such as wound healing or cell migration processes.
Our research activity focuses on studying mechanisms of pathogenesis and
discovering potential drug therapies for diseases of genetic origin, in particular Myotonic Dystrophy (DM1 and DM2), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMDD2).
