Improved healthcare has resulted in dramatic demographic changes in developed countries, causing an increase in the prevalence of diseases associated with aging. As a result, many significant human diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases and some types of cancer, are becoming increasingly common.

I study Cellular, Molecular and Developmental biology, Genetics and Bioinformatics because of their essential role for Regenerative and Translational Medicine, which offer unique opportunities for developing new therapeutic approaches to prevent and treat debilitating and life-threatening diseases.
