Study of the diagnosis and treatment of:

  • Myeloma
  • Chronic myeloproliferative syndromes
  • Leukemias

It develops a research program and clinical application in cell therapy with adult stem cells, promoting several research lines, mainly focused on the use of stem cells for the treatment of cardiovascular, osteoarticular and immune diseases.
