The department MFAB develops research activities in the domains of human physiology (see also research group MFYS) and general biochemistry ( see also research group ABIS). Most research activities of MFYS are dealing with the physiological effects of exercise and can be ranged within the following research subjects: - The effects of physical activity and inactivity on health status and quality of life; - Research into the more practical ...

The research in the Laboratory for Genetics of Human Development has a focus on the clinical and genetic characterisation of genetic disorders, with special emphasis on dysmorphology, congenital malformations of the heart and face and intellectual disability. They contribute to the ongoing definition of novel clinical entities and to the further delineation of existing syndromes.
