Main lines of research
Rare Diseases Research
* Principal Investigator: Carmen Ayuso
- Design of clinical and molecular diagnostic protocols: incorporating the diagnosis of more than 150 diseases and over 300 genes into the SNS, with over 15,000 molecular diagnoses performed.
- Development of diagnostic algorithms for rare and common genetic diseases, drafting and publication of Clinical Practice Guidelines.
Neurosensory disease research: Ophthalmogenetics
* Principal Investigator: Carmen Ayuso
The research team has 20 years of experience studying retinal dystrophies with numerous publications in national and international journals. Important contributions include cloning/identification of more than 10 new genes; clinical and molecular study of syndromic and non-syndromic disease forms; study of genotype-phenotype correlations.
This line of research involves collaborations with national (CIBERER, EsRetNet) and international (Eurogentest and ERDC) groups.
Study of new cell, gene, and pharmacogenetic therapies.
* Principal Investigator: Carmen Ayuso
In recent years, the group has developed new lines of research for the design of new therapeutic approaches based on pharmacogenetics and cell therapy, including the use of microarrays and the development and validation of pharmacogenetic tools, with interesting results.
Research in genomics and bioethics
* Principal Investigator: Carmen Ayuso
Genomics approaches are of incalculable value for the diagnosis of new diseases and the discovery of new drugs and therapies, but raise ethical and legal challenges that must be analyzed from a bioethicical perspective, rather than merely from a scientific/technical point of view.
Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis
* Principal Investigator: Marta Rodríguez de Alba
More than 15 years of experience in noninvasive prenatal diagnosis with over 6 projects awarded since 1997: research in reproductive and fetal medicine, translational research in noninvasive prenatal diagnosis and preimplantation diagnosis.
The research group belongs to the European Retinal Disease Consortium (ERDC) (http://www.erdc.info/
). ERDC was initiated in 2008 to stimulate collaborations in the field of inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). This collaboration has resulted in many joint papers to date. A Marie Curie Initial Training Network entitled EyeTN was set up by seven groups from ERDC and seven industrial partners (http://www.eyetn.eu/).
