Innovaspain, the newspaper specialized in science and innovation, has interviewed Toni Gabaldón, ICREA researcher at IRB Barcelona and the BSC-CNS, regarding his work on evolutionary genomics. "Genomics is expected to play an important role in the medicine of the future," says the scientist. "The true hope is that genomics emerges not only as a means to detect diseases or define a treatment but as a therapeutic tool through which to manipulate genes through transfer technologies or gene modification," he goes on to say.
