Biology
Biology Division Laboratories
The Division has recently almost doubled the number of independent research groups and currently includes 12 Laboratories. Their collaboration with the existing groups at LA will allow the strengthening of research in fundamental areas such as pathogenic bacteria metabolism, bacterial cell wall synthesis, bacterial cell-cell communication and bacterial cellular and developmental biology. In addition, studies with eukaryotic cells in the areas of glycobiology and intracellular trafficking of glycoproteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases and ovarian carcinoma are performed.
