The research area in Biomedicine focuses on studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying various human diseases, with an approach aimed at understanding the biological dynamics of pathological conditions. Research lines include oncology, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, genetic, and inflammatory diseases, as well as dysbiosis, to investigate how molecular circuits and cellular signaling pathways are altered in pathological and preclinical conditions. The goal is to identify new diagnostic markers and pharmacological targets, as well as to develop preventive pharmacological or nutraceutical strategies to counteract disease development.

The area also includes advanced studies in nanomedicine, focusing on the development of nanoparticles and biomaterials for targeted applications in oncology and regenerative medicine. The systems biology approach enables an integrated analysis of cellular and molecular networks, providing a comprehensive view of molecular interactions in pathological conditions and potential therapeutic strategies.

With a strong emphasis on biotechnological innovation and interdisciplinarity, the Biomedicine research area of the Department aims to generate knowledge applicable to personalized and precision medicine and nutrition.
