BFA - Functional and Adaptive Biology Unit
Research carried out within the BFA unit aims to study the impact of the environment (nutritional, xenobiotic) on the functioning of living organisms at the molecular, cellular and integrated levels, using approaches ranging from in silico to preclinical and clinical studies. This work focuses on major health issues such as:
- Metabolic diseases (type 2 diabetes, obesity)
- Fertility disorders;
- Neurodegenerative pathologies.
and are supported by: - Computational modeling: pharmacological profiling, therapeutic peptides.
