Project Description

The long term goal of the Center for Molecular Genetics and Infectious Diseases Research is to develop and strengthen a collaborative research environment that will enable high quality biomedical research molecular genetics and infectious diseases at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus. The Center consist of three components: Human Genetics, Infectious Disease and Molecular Biology, with corresponding coordinators working together as a team. The Center we will develop the establishment and preservation of immortalized cell lines from the human tissue samples for the purpose of research, and make these available to the research community at the MSC. We propose to maintain on-hand and apply novel DNA and RNA isolation methodologies to diverse group of organisms and biological samples for nucleic acids sequence analysis in general.
