Main lines of research
Multidisciplinary group created to investigate envi- ronmental causes of disease, particularly, malignant tumors and its basic and clinical aspects, with a strong character translational and applied to clinical practice. Both the epidemiology of malignant tumor disease as the diagnosis and treatment has been and are the object of attention. Especially:
• Research on environmental factors related to exposure to hormonally active chemical contam- inants (endocrine disruption) and physical agents (ionizing and non-ionizing radiation).
• The diagnosis of tumor disease in its early stages and subsequent evolution by radiological tech- niques and molecular imaging.
• A holistic approach to the concept of health and environment based on: i) markers of exposure; ii) development of biomarkers combined effect; iii) research focused on mechanisms of gene-envi- ronment interaction; and iv) actions in prevention.
