Histology
The Histology Unit imparts teaching in various subjects and optional subjects of different degrees in the fields of Medicine and Health Sciences, both at the Bachelor's Degree (Medicine, Biomedical Engineering and Biomedicine / Biomedical Sciences) and Master's Degree (Biomedicine and Neurosciences). With regard to research, the main investigators of the Unit investigate the physiopathological bases in neurodegenerative genetic diseases and the connective tissue, and in regenerative medicine.
