Introduction
The BGR&MCM group is involved in translational research in the field of human biology and genetics. Ongoing research is in human reproduction, human toxicology, oncofertility, biology and genetics of ciliopathies, human biology and genetics, and molecular and cellular medicine, under active collaboration with several hospital centres and research institutes, national and international.
The group performs external clinical diagnosis of ciliopathies, hematologic and reproductive pathologies to Hospitals.
The group is actively engaged in student advance training and dissemination of scientific knowledge.
