Description
The main goals of Molecular Medicine Programme address the actual topics in current biomedical research and clinical medicine. They are focused on introduction of modern approaches of the genome analysis (human, as well as microbial), characterisation of cell behaviour on a molecular level, with emphasis on malignant transformation, and resistance to modern anti-cancer treatment, and analysis of mechanisms leading to disturbances of immune response.
