R&D in metabolomics, structural biology and validation of targets with therapeutic activity and exploitation of results obtained at the Centre. BIOGUNE 2011
The overall mission of the project is to identify chronic liver disease markers (metabolic metabolites or profiles) that constitute useful tools in clinical practice and in the development of new drugs. The specific objectives of the project are to evaluate conditions of sample storage, transport and handling for simpler, cheaper diagnosis. In addition, these same markers are sought in samples taken in a less invasive manner with a view to obtaining the most suitable methods for patients.
