Diversitat del genoma humà
Els interessos del grup de recerca són analitzar el genoma humà per inferir els processos genòmics i poblacionals que n’expliquen la diversitat, i definir les conseqüències de la variabilitat genètica dels humans en les poblacions i des d’un punt de vista epidemiològic. Així, la recerca que duu a terme va més enllà de la diversitat del genoma humà i abraça la genètica de poblacions, la variació del genoma i la susceptibilitat a les malalties, així com l’evolució del genoma i les malalties.
