Director: Juan David Ramírez González
Categoría en Colciencias: A1

El grupo enfoca sus líneas de investigación en el desarrollo, validación e implementación de técnicas moleculares para el diagnóstico y tipificación de agentes infecciosos como Trypanosoma cruzi, Leishmania, parásitos intestinales, Clostridium difficile, Chlamydia trachomatis y Candida. Así mismo el conocimiento de la ecología molecular y diversidad genética de estos agentes para la construcción de circuitos epidemiológicos y comprender su filodinámica con el fin de proveer estrategias de control y prevención de estas enfermedades. Estos circuitos epidemiológicos son un componente importante de nuestras investigaciones ya que son sometidos a escenarios de cambio climático para conocer a fondo la ecología de las enfermedades. De igual manera, el grupo realiza análisis de filogenómica y perfiles de expresión mediante RNA-seq para entender la biología poblacional de estos microorganismos y perfiles de virulencia para responder preguntas relacionadas con interacciones patógeno/hospedero. El grupo también está interesado en conocer la genética poblacional, biología y evolución de vectores de la Enfermedad de Chagas (Rhodnius, Triatoma y Panstrongylus) y leishmaniasis
