Basic and clinically-oriented research groups are linked through the funding of Cooperative Projects, covering topics from A as in auto-immune diseases to Z as in zebrafish mutants. Two assistant professorships have been established in
Integrative Physiology and in the field of
Epithelial Cancers. State-of-the-art equipment, techniques and services related to cardio-vascular, renal, respiratory, muscle and metabolism functions are provided by a Core Facility for Rodent Physiology.
