Genetic diseases
Several teams are involved in research projects designed to address the basic challenges of various genetic diseases, including monogenic diseases, like hemochromatosis and other inborn metabolic diseases, cystic fibrosis, haemoglobinopathies, neuromuscular diseases, triplet diseases, developmental diseases, and multifactorial diseases, like obesity and atherosclerosis. These projects are often closely linked to the clinical setting, and exploit systematic approaches of analysis, like genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics
