Research

The researches in PPGBAS comprise all efforts in biology applicable to improve health in animals, mainly, human beings. Therefore, advances in cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, molecular biology, nanopharmacology, pathology, and neuroscience are employed in diagnosis and therapeutic proposals to health.

 Research Areas

 The projects are distributed in two research lines:

1) Human and animal molecular and cell biology and

2) Production, purification, characterization and application of biomolecules.

Research Groups

 The research groups of PPGBAS in human and animal molecular and cell biology are composed of: 1) molecular biology and genetics; 2) molecular diagnosis in oncology and cardiology; 3) respiratory therapy; 4) medical immunology; 5) cardiac remodeling; 6) biological bases of neuropsychiatric disorders; 7) biosensors; 8) cancer biomarkers. The groups studying the production, purification, characterization and application of biomolecules are: 1) biotechnology application of biomolecules extracted from the Brazilian biodiversity; 2) bioprospection of lectins; 3) immobilized proteins; 3) pharmaceutical nanotechnology.
