Mil Daz, Nuria • GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY.
Rodrguez Moranta, Francisco
Our research in the field of genetic epidemiology is focused primarily on
Salazar Soler, Ramn
identifying genetic polymorphisms as susceptibility markers of cancer risk
Sanz Pamplona, Rebeca associated with the study of drug consumption, colorectal cancer, and de-
Sole Acha, Xavier
velopment of a predictor of individual risk based on the combination of
CONTRIBUTORS
multiple genetic polymorphisms associated with cancer. In this line we also

Lpez Circoles, Olga
develop new biostatistical and bioinformatics methods.

• MOLECULAR DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER.

Within the area of molecular diagnosis of cancer, our research focuses on E
L R
the identification of biomarkers useful for the early diagnosis of colorectal A
NU
cancer. The domains of interest include genomics, proteomics and epige- N
netics. We believe that genomic regulatory networks are useful for the A
/
identification of new markers.
