MICROBIOLOGY AND HEPATOLOGY CTS277

Description

This research group Microbiology and Hepatology specializes in the application of molecular biology techniques in the diagnosis of diseases such as AIDS, H1N1flu commonly known as swine flu, meningitis or hepatitis. For this they use different tools such as the PCR reaction (polymerase chain reaction). This group is leader in the study of HIV drug resistance in western Andalusia.
