Medicine and pharmacy
Medicine is the branch of the health sciences that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders from the point of view of people's homeostasis. Pharmacy is the science and practice of preparing, preserving, presenting, and dispensing medicines.
These are the services that our research groups can develop. For customized information on the services, please contact us.
