Visão Geral

O grupo dedica-se ao desenvolvimento de novas terapias translacionais para doenças cerebrais. Para tal, o grupo desenha e utiliza plataformas tecnológicas baseadas em vectores de transferência de genes virais e não virais e células estaminais pluripotentes induzidas para o:

  • Estabelecimento de modelos de doenças cerebrais;
  • Estudo dos mecanismos da doença;
  • Desenvolvimento de novas abordagens moleculares e de células estaminais, terapêuticas e profilácticas para doenças cerebrais, particularmente doenças neurodegenerativas, nomeadamente a doença de Machado-Joseph (MJD)/ ataxia espinocerebelosa tipo 3, bem como tumores cerebrais.
     

O grupo resulta de uma reestruturação do antigo grupo “Vectores e Terapia Génica” e possui uma forte especialização em transferência de genes (virais e não virais) e células estaminais para modelização e terapia de doenças cerebrais. As nossas plataformas tecnológicas incluem:

  • Vectores virais lentivirais e AAV adeno-associados;
  • Exossomas e nanopartículas direccionados para a reparação e vacinação do cérebro;
  • Edição de genes com CRISPR-Cas9;
  • Células estaminais pluripotentes induzidas para modelização de doenças;
  • Transplante de células estaminais neurais e de células estromais mesenquimais para reparação do cérebro;
  • Descoberta de biomarcadores a partir de fluidos de doentes.
