Biomolecular condensates Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 Biomolecular condensates are composed of proteins and other biomolecules that aggregate in liquid-liquid or liquid-solid structures inside the cells, and perform essential roles in regulating complex biological processes and maintaining cell functions. LNBio stands out in studying the molecular mechanisms of human proteins with critical roles in health and…
Investigating the molecular foundations of cancer, studying its development in natural microenvironments
This group studies neglected parasitic diseases such as Chagas, which are associated with poverty and precarious health conditions
This group focuses on arboviruses, which have not yet been widely studied and are transmitted by vectors present in our ecosystem
Cancer biology Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 Improving the treatment options for diseases like cancer requires continuous evolution of the disease models used in the laboratory. Three-dimensional culture of tumor cells in the form of organoids has proven an important method for establishing personalized therapies. This approach makes it possible to replicate tumors in lab conditions…
Chagas Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 The study of neglected diseases such as Chagas is essential because of the disproportionate impact these diseases have on vulnerable populations. Research in this field is crucial to understand underlying mechanisms, develop more effective and accessible treatments, as well as to refine new diagnostic methods. Within this context, LNBio is…
Virology Home /Scientific divisions/Page 4 Analyzing the structural details of viral proteins makes it possible to identify specific therapeutic targets, which are fundamental for developing antivirals. Considering the global increase in arboviruses like dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, a structural approach offers crucial insights for planning innovative therapeutic interventions in order to mitigate the impact of…
