A large part of the group’s work is on Parkinson's Research groups Neuromuscular and mitochondrial pathology The group focuses on studying the pathological mechanisms of mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) mutations associated with neuromuscular syndromes. From approaches in the fields of genetics and biochemistry, the group is particularly working on understanding the pathogenic mechanisms invo Research groups Neurosurgery and neurotraumatology research unit UNINN The team has different consolidated lines of research, including neurotraumatology, research into hydrocephalus and alterations in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and research into congenital craniocervical anomalies. The UNINN research group’s projects, traditionally clinical, incorporate b Research groups Paediatric neurology As well as its work on researching the molecular bases of several of these rare diseases, one aspect common to all the group’s projects is research on transferring findings in the fields of molecular diagnosis, genetic counselling and new genetic or pharmacological therapies. In order to make the Research groups Peripheral nervous system They work on the hypothesis that some cases of ALS may be due to missing genetic information or excess chromosomes. For that reason they are investigating the specific genes involved in ALS, and the contribution that DNA restructuring makes to the causes of the illness. The group’s main lines of Research groups Psychiatry, mental health and addictions Among the Psychiatry, Mental Health and Addictions research group’s lines of research are Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults, dual pathologies associated with addictions, cross-cultural psychiatry or the implications of genetics in psychiatry. Research groups Clinical and translational bioinformatics The group is working on developing biomarkers, with the help of bioinformatic tools, and on the prediction of pathological mutations. In this last field, they are already applying the tools and approaches developed in specific pathologies, as a natural step towards developing personalised medicin Research groups Clinical research / innovation in pneumonia and sepsis (CRIPS) The group’s lines of research focus on severe bacterial, mycotic and viral infections in this context. It also deals with diagnosis, prevention and management issues, which are strategic in nature. To better control infections in the Intensive Care Unit, the groups also takes part in various proj Research groups Epidemiology and public health The group uses epidemiological methods to study the aetiology, vigilance and efficacy of interventions, among fields of interest. It focuses on three main areas. In epidemiology and prevention of infections associated with healthcare, it analyses aspects related to the evolution, characteristics, Research groups Infection and Immunity in pediatric patients It is dedicated to research into viral, fungal and bacterial infections in immunosuppressed paediatric patients. It is a pioneering unit in this filed and national point of reference, with a high level of expertise. The unit’s research also reflects on daily clinical practice.
