Principal Investigators —

Genetic & metabolic diseases Core Group

The objective of the Genetic & metabolic disorders core group is to initiate collaborative projects that address health-related applications (diagnostics, pharmacogenomics, precision medicine tools, etc.) to advance the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of certain diseases with the potential of uncovering novel therapeutic approaches. The group is also involved in applying inducible pluripotent stem cell and organoid technologies to the study of metabolic and genetic diseases.
