01 Clinical, Epidemiological, and Translational
Clinical, Epidemiological, and Translational Research Applied to the Comprehensive Study of the Health-Disease Process
43pubs Comprehensive study of the health-disease process through clinical cohorts, trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, integrating clinical outcomes with biological markers in chronic, autoimmune, renal, and surgical conditions. This line bridges clinical practice with the generation of translational evidence to inform decision-making.
Specific lines
- Clinical Cohorts in Nephrology and Chronic Disease 4
- Pediatric Rheumatology, Autoimmune Diseases, and Biologic Therapies 9
- Clinical and Reconstructive Surgery and Surgical Outcomes 8
- Systematic Reviews and Diagnostic-Therapeutic Meta-Analyses 4
02 Population Data Science
Population Data Science for Identifying Determinants of the Health-Disease Process
6pubs Analysis of large surveillance databases and national registries through time series, spatial models, and ecological methods to identify the social, environmental, and structural determinants of health. This line quantifies inequalities, healthcare deserts, and amenable (avoidable) mortality at the population level.
Specific lines
- Social Determinants, Healthcare Deserts, and Amenable (Avoidable) Mortality 2
- Environmental and Occupational Health and Population-Level Respiratory Function 3
03 Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Epidemiology and Control of Infectious Diseases
13pubs Surveillance, outbreak dynamics, and temporal analysis of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (measles, dengue, COVID-19, respiratory viruses) and of antimicrobial resistance, including the development of Bayesian weighted-incidence syndromic combination antibiograms (WISCA) to guide empirical therapy.
Specific lines
- Bayesian Weighted-Incidence Syndromic Combination Antibiograms (WISCA) and Empirical Therapy 4
- Surveillance and Time Series of Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases 6
- Epidemiology and Outcomes of COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 3
04 Nutrition and Microbiome
Nutrition and Microbiome in the Prevention and Management of Disease
18pubs Study of the interaction among nutritional status, low-grade inflammation, the microbiome/biofilm, and systemic comorbidities, together with healthy lifestyles, obesity, and oral-systemic axes in the prevention and management of disease.
Specific lines
- Periodontal Immunoinflammation and Oral-Systemic Axes 14
- Nutrition, Biofilm, Obesity, and Low-Grade Inflammation 4
05 Molecular Biology and Biomarkers
Molecular Biology in the Diagnosis, Biomarkers, Epidemiology, and Treatment of Infectious Diseases
6pubs Application of molecular tools (whole-genome sequencing (WGS), gene expression profiling, cytokines, and immunoinflammatory biomarkers) to the diagnosis, epidemiological typing, and treatment of infectious and immune-mediated diseases, including the molecular determinants of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and viral pathogenesis.
Specific lines
- Microbial Genomics and Molecular Determinants of Resistance 2
- Molecular Biomarkers and Viral/Immune-Mediated Pathogenesis 4
