Research lines

Precision Genetic Diagnosis

Application of new genetic diagnostic tools such as Whole Genome Sequencing, RNAseq, or Optical Genome Mapping to optimize the diagnosis of patients with various motor disorders, including neuromuscular diseases, dystonias, and other movement disorders.

IP: David Gómez Andrés, Anna Marcé Grau, Belen Perez Dueñas

Imaging Biomarker Study in Neuropediatric Diseases

The application of advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques enables an objective and quantitative characterization of the progression of various neurological diseases. This research focuses on developing imaging biomarkers to identify radiological patterns. For neuromuscular diseases, the aim is to identify specific patterns of fat replacement and muscle inflammation, as well as to correlate these changes with motor function and other clinical parameters. For patients with movement disorders, specific imaging patterns will be studied to establish efficacy biomarkers for deep brain stimulation. This will contribute to better patient stratification and evaluation of responses to different experimental treatments.

Digital Biomarker Study in Neuropediatric Diseases

Digital tools provide a unique opportunity to continuously and objectively monitor pediatric patients with neurological disorders. This project aims to identify and validate digital biomarkers using wearable sensors, video analysis, movement pattern analysis, and artificial intelligence applied to clinical data. The ultimate goal is to improve diagnosis, monitoring, and personalized treatment for children with complex neurological diseases.

Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Congenital Muscular Dystrophy Due to Merosin Deficiency

Development of a new gene therapy strategy based on high-capacity adenoviral vectors, in collaboration with the Gene and Cell Therapy group at VHIR, led by Dr. Jordi Barquinero and Dr. María Pallarès-Masmitjà.

The project’s 4th annual meeting was recently held as part of the Fortalece–Salud programme of the Carlos III Health Institute.

Over the course of one week, it will host in-person assessments for 35 families to better understand the progression of the disease and contribute to the development of new therapies.

The event focused on advances in disease-modifying therapies and on the value of alliances between patients and professionals to promote more participatory care and research.
