Additional Information

The activity of this unit focuses on the development and clinical validation of point-of-care diagnostic methodology against liver viruses based on an emerging field, nanotechnology, a line of research that is developed in collaboration with BioAssays SL. Likewise, this unit focuses on delving into the immuno-virological mechanisms underlying viral infections and coinfections with other microorganisms and their influence on the host through a comprehensive approach to laboratory techniques. 

One of the main lines of research involves the study of the coinfection of viral hepatitis with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), evaluating the impact of coinfection and elimination of hepatitis C on the HIV reservoir, as well as its impact on virus-induced senescence, among others through the use of “omic” technologies. 

Our group leads the Multidisciplinary HIV/Hepatitis Coinfection Group (COVIHEP), and maintains collaborations with national and international research groups of excellence, facilitating greater harmonization and quality in the biomedical research carried out. On the other hand, Dr. Briz maintains close collaboration with private companies, promoting intersectoral alliances that represent a competitive advantage.
