The R&D programs of BIOFISIKA are grouped in two main Research Lines and five Research Sublines. This rational combination of independent group abilities and skills in supplementary fields contributes to reduce scientific dispersion and undertake more ambitious and complex research projects. The distribution of the research groups in the different Research Lines respond to the will of BIOFISIKA to create a unique Research and Training program able to exploit all the singularities present in the Center, fostering the complementarities and synergies of the different groups.

BIOFISIKA Research line organisation
Molecular Mechanisms of Familial Hypercholesterolemia
The overall interest of our laboratory is focused in two major themes of research: (1) the identification and characterization of mutations occurring at LDL receptor, ApoB-100 and PCSK9, and (2) the correlation between microRNAs and ...
Phosphoinositide-Dependent Signalling Mechanisms in Cancer: Design of Novel Diagnostic Tools
Biophotonics at the Membrane: In-Situ Imaging of Lipid-Dependent Oncogenic Kinases
This research line is focused on the development and application of novel micro and nanoscopic optical methodologies to the quantitative investigation of the spatial organization and dynamics of inter- and intramolecular interactions in living cells. The quantitative description of proteins ...
Mitochondrial Membranes, Apoptosis and Cancer
During apoptosis, mitochondrial membranes undergo dramatic changes in permeability and morphology. The principal components involved in these processes are the BCL-2 family of proteins, with assistance from an increasing number of mitochondrial protein/lipid effectors. Despite the remarkable ...
