Phenotypes to Genotypes of Ageing and Degenerative Disease
Coordinator: Paulo Pereira
The RP2 programme aims at an integrated multidisciplinary approach covering various aspects from early genetic mechanisms of age-related diseases and intermediate mechanisms of age-related cell damage, ending up in development of improved means to characterize and validate complex phenotypes such as of age-related retinal degeneration. This programme includes 3 sub-programmes:
Phenotyping, identification of risk markers and testing emerging therapies
(Coordinator: José Cunha-Vaz)
Genotypes to phenotypes: molecular mechanism of degeneration and design of new therapies
(Coordinator: Paulo Pereira)
Functional Studies of Drug Action at Systems Level
(Coordinator: Frederico Teixeira)
Understanding and treating diabetes and diabetic endothelial dysfunction
(Coordinator: Raquel Seiça)
