New era in Molecular Biology

16/05/2024 By Goretti Moran de Luis

Since the near-complete sequencing of the human genome in 2003, progress in the field of molecular biology has continued to advance. Thanks to this discovery, we have managed to identify genes associated with various diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s. Additionally, this advancement has allowed us to develop much more personalized medicine, where a patient […]

Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, an old enemy is emerging worldwide
