Molecular Biomedicine Program
About
The objective of the Molecular Bio-Medicine Program is to investigate mechanisms of diseases and develop necessary tools with potential translational outcome in therapy or in medical biotechnology. The program currently focuses on a medically important family of genes associated with regulating mRNA stability and translation which are perturbed as a result of a disease. The program has a unique and internationally known research platform which is applicable to the study of several chronic disease conditions including inflammatory, infectious, and cancer states.
