The Laboratory of Health and Environment (SAM) deals with the impact of environmental factors on the aetiopathogenesis of human chronic diseases and aging. By taking advantage of an integrated in vivo-in vitro-in silico (molecular dynamics) experimental approach, the laboratory explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms –with a particular focus on epigenetics- underlying the interaction between the environment and the biological systems. The Laboratory can also offer multiple expertise for epidemiological studies and risk assessment analysis in order to evaluate the environmental impact on human health.
