Alejandro Monzonis's Company Details
The mission of Epidisease is to provide our customers with biomedical solutions, epigenetic diagnostic tools, and characterization of new epigenetic drugs, thus encouraging translational research and improving the health and welfare of people. Epigenetics is the study of heritable modifications in gene activity that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms involve DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications, and microRNAs giving rise to changes in gene expression. For years, studies on human diseases have been focused on genetic mechanisms, but currently new research is directed towards investigating epigenetic modifications and new tools are being developed to study such alterations. Elucidating the mechanisms that control these epigenetic modifications is the challenge that will lead us to understand the development of different human diseases and to redesign new therapeutic strategies.
