Epidemiology and Physiology
RESEARCH AREA
research line
Molecular and genetic epidemiology
The Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology research line integrates traditional epidemiology with advanced technologies—omics and imaging—to clarify how molecular profiles and environmental exposures shape disease risk. This multidimensional approach yields systems‑level insights, strengthens causal inference, and accelerates translational research for precision medicine, precision nutrition, and evidence‑based public health.
Research Activities
Implementation of studies that combine classical epidemiological methods with high-throughput technologies to reveal the intricate relationship between molecular profiles, environmental exposures, and disease risk.
Exploring the inverse relationship between diseases and comorbidities by means of genetic and clinical data analysis.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in large patient series and cohorts, also using biobank data.
