Current and future Projects

Significant equipment or infrastructure of the Group:

The new UPV-EHU Neurogenomiks lab is under construction and will be fully equipped for genomics, neuroimmunology and cell biology research (ready October 2008).

It is located in the famous Technology Park of Zamudio/Derio, and excellent high-throughput genomic/proteomic service facilities are available nearby (CIC bioGUNE) and in the University (Leioa campus).

Any other significant information about the Group:

The Neurogenomiks group is coordinating the new FP7 Marie Curie IT Network "United Europeans for development of PHArmacogenomics in MS" (Start 1-SEPT-2008)

The Neurogenomiks laboratory will neighbour the Neurotek lab headed by Prof. C. Matute.
