About us

The Institute of Molecular Genetics (IGM) belongs to the network of research institutes of the Italian National Research Council.

IGM was established in September 2000 by the fusion of the “Istituto di Genetica Biochimica ed Evoluzionistica” (IGBE) and the “Centro di Studio per l’Istochimica” (CSI), both based in Pavia. In 2007 the Institute was enriched with two sections located in Bologna and Chieti. The different components that merged into the IGM are characterized by a high level of scientific and methodological complementarity. >>

 

 

 


Research activities

IGM researches on basic biological mechanisms is completed with a likewise qualified translational research. Three main research fields can be identified: 1) molecular analysis of hereditary genetic diseases, 2) molecular characterzation of acquired genetic diseases such as tumors and their prograssion to metastasis, 3) development of techniques and screening of new compounds. Research activities of the various groups are strictly interrelated utilizing the front-line methods of the modern biology (biochemical and pharmacological approach, molecular genetics and biology, cellular biology and bio-computing). >>
