Strategic Areas of Development in Research
Molecular Sciences
The convergence of technologies at the unit level (bits, atoms and genes) has the potential to generate important innovations in health, the treatment of diseases, and the environment, among other areas. At the same time, the ethical, legal and regulatory challenges posed by the power of these technologies are increasingly important, involving research in medicine, health sciences, science, business, law and the arts:
- Molecular and systems biology
- Biopharmaceuticals
- Catalysis and nanotechnology
- Environmental genomics
