Ex-situ conservation
Application of conservation techniques for endangered species, viability studies, germination physiology and seed and spore ageing.
Optimization of semen conservation techniques
Optimisation of semen preservation techniques.
Study of the energy metabolism of sperm and its relationship to fertility in mammals
The general objective of this project is to study the evolution of different sperm parameters related to energy metabolism, under different physiological conditions, in order to optimise the production of seminal doses, as well as their predictive capacity for fertility.
Use of Drosophila as a model for the study of human pathologies of genetic origin
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.
