Strategic Focus
We are an interdisciplinary group with teaching, research, and community outreach activities. Our mission is to develop and implement innovative research proposals and train professionals in basic and clinical aspects of immunology and related disciplines in order to apply them to the health care of Colombians affected by genetic defects of the immune system within a humanistic and scientific context of excellence in user-patient quality.
Research Areas and Topics
- Detection and management of the Abnormal Recurrent Infection Syndrome (ARIS) and Pathogenesis of Primary Immunodeficiencies.
- Genetic and molecular dissection of Inborn Errors of Immunity to bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
- Cardiovascular effects of Chocolate derivates.
