Tropical Diseases Research Center (CINTROP)
ABOUT OUR Group
The Tropical Diseases Research Center (CINTROP) conducts basic, applied, and translational research on infectious and tropical diseases of public health importance. Its capabilities include epidemiological and entomological surveillance, vector research and control, characterization of infectious agents, molecular diagnostics, insecticide resistance assessment, the development of bioactive compounds, and the design of innovative prevention and control strategies. The center also integrates cutting-edge biotechnologies, such as CRISPR and genome editing, to better understand disease transmission and develop solutions that strengthen public health. Its research approach connects scientific inquiry with the needs of the region, contributing to disease surveillance, prevention, control, and the training of highly qualified professionals in public health and tropical diseases.
RESEARCH Lines
Emerging and Re-Emerging Microorganisms
This research line focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in malignant transformation and the regulation of metabolic and immune homeostasis.
Chemotherapy
This research line focuses on innovation in diagnostics and the development of therapeutic alternatives for the control of vector-borne parasitic diseases.
Medical Entomology
This research line generates knowledge on the characterization and control of medically important vectors through the study of their population structure, ecology, biology, vector competence, and susceptibility to insecticides. It integrates molecular and biotechnological tools, including CRISPR, to investigate vector–pathogen–host interactions, strengthen entomological surveillance, and develop innovative vector control strategies for public health.
