The unit of diseases
and diversity is concerned with:
Study of endemic
non-infectious and infectious diseases in relation to the population
genetics and human genome diversity in Sudan, including the role of disease
in shaping the current ethno-geographical picture of the area.
Screening for
known polymorphisms that underlies particular disease phenotypes, employing
an integrated approach towards understanding the relationship of mankind to
disease, which takes into consideration the evolutionary aspects in the
relations of microbes and Man as well as the complex biological-cultural
nature of human evolution. The main set of information generated in the
center of disease and diversity is related to the genetic polymorphism in
Homo sapiens and their most common pathogens as well as disease vectors.
