Medical Genomics Group

The Medical Genomics Group has broad interests in the genomics and epigenomics of phenotypic plasticity in health and disease. We use computational and data science approaches to study genetic and epigenetic variations and how they modulate genome function. Our research aims to advance translational, regenerative and personalized medicine. We also advocate for more open data sharing and governance and science in general.

Nanomaterials for Energy and Lifescience

Our research has a focus on material science, and it is able to conduct the complete production line, from conceiving and realizing a new material to its application in devices (solar cells, transistor and LEDs), through a comprehensive characterization. The areas of competence are Material Chemistry, Molecular Electronics, Printed Electronics, Nanotechnology Fabrication and Optical-Photophysical-Morphological and Theoretical Characterization.
