Our laboratory will investigate how contamination reprograms human cells and tissues through epigenetic mechanisms, how these molecular mechanisms relate to clinical features of the disease, and what new drug targets (biomarkers) could be suggested, through parallel and integrative analysis with next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. The mission of the EPIGEN Puebla laboratory is to bring together our previous multilevel expertise in pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer in a new epidemiological context that is relevant to the state of Puebla, from biological science to translational medicine.
