Center for Pathobiochemistry and Genetics

The Institutes of the Center for Pathobiochemistry and Genetics are engaged in research, teaching and
clinical diagnostic activities in the field of human genetics.  
The Center’s scientific interest is the genetic predisposition to disorders, including the characterization
of the molecular basis of monogenetic diseases, stem cell research, tumor biology, reproductive
genetics, aging, lipid metabolism, signal transduction and genetic diseases, as well as the development
of novel therapeutic strategies for human genetic disorders, bioethics and toxicogenetics.
